How is neuroplastic therapy applied?
The therapy is applied in five steps. It is not a passive "prescription", but an active process of retraining the brain.
Medical check-up
Get medical tests to make sure there is nothing urgent or serious. This step is essential and is never skipped.
Education
Learn how entrenched neural circuits in the brain can perpetuate our symptoms. This understanding alone reduces fear — and fear is the "fuel" of the cycle.
Safety messages
Learn to respond to your symptoms with messages of safety to your subconscious, instead of fear and worry. This interrupts the vicious fear–pain cycle.
Expressing emotions
Learn to express your emotions — and especially anger — so that they are not stored and "translated" into a physical symptom by your subconscious.
Changing your life
Change your life so that the people around you do not hurt you — set boundaries, take care of your relationships and your needs. A safer environment means a safer brain.
