Brain Change
Brain change is possible throughout your lifespan due to neuroplasticity. We are fortunate that previously wired-in behavioral patterns and habits can in fact be changed. Our brains contain roadmaps that determine how we see ourselves and the world. These brain "maps" dictate how we treat ourselves, engage with other people, handle our emotions, relate to the emotions of others, expect to be treated, and so on. Brain science research suggests that redirected attention can change the patterns and habits the brain controls.
In other words, attention changes the brain.
What is Neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is an umbrella term for the brain's ability to change and reorganize itself physically and functionally.
Neuroplasticity and Psychotherapy
Dr. Robin L. Kay shows us a video describing how psychotherapy can change the brain and help people modify destructive behaviors to create positive mood and behavior changes that can last a lifetime.
The implications of neuroplasticity are astounding. Neuroplasticity research shows that your brain can adapt and become more resilient no matter how old you are.
Learning is central to promoting neuroplastic brain growth. Psychotherapy will equip you with newly learned skills and techniques to handle your feelings, reality, and behavior in ways that promote your success.
As your brain changes in your favor, maladaptive habits will die off and will be replaced with more adaptive habits, behaviors and feeling management strategies.
