reptilian brain. This allows us to know when something is truly dangerous rather than automatically responding as if everything is potentially dangerous.
Rewiring Our Brain and Healing
Unfortunately, we tend to get stuck in our past habit of defending against experiencing our “old trauma” and instead living as if we are in constant danger now. As we work with and heal our past trauma we can rewire this unhealthy old outdated way of defending ourselves. The rewiring of our brain and the rebalancing of our nervous systems enables us to live in a more balanced and healthy manner. We now fi nd ourselves in a heal- ing state of being, connecting to a higher level of functioning, and to our own deeper place of wisdom that also connects us to universal consciousness.
Although our therapists can help to guide clients toward deep healing, a full physical healing is not always a certainty. Sometimes the healing is of an emotional or spiritual nature. The extent of the physical healing depends on several factors, the message our Spirit is sending to us and the pre-existing level of physical deterioration. Also critical is our ability to live into and through our resistance and into our emotional hurts and trauma and the old embedded negative energies from the origi- nal emotional abuse.
As we begin the therapeutic process, improvement is possi-
ble even when there is physical deterioration. We don’t know in advance the nature and extent of the healing that can and will occur. In order for any healing to take place we need to suspend judgments and obsessions about what can be accomplished and allow our body and emotions to realign into a quieter, calmer state of being.
