When Things Get Out of Hand: Trauma and the Triune Brain [goodtherapy.org]

Laura Pinhey ·
In recent decades, neuroscience and psychotherapy have joined forces in seeking to understand the biological bases of behavior.

Have you ever heard of the triune brain? This is a simplified, three-part model of the brain, as originally explained by Dr. Daniel Siegel , that helps us to understand the neurological...

If you want to heal childhood trauma, you have to heal your body.

Michael Unbroken ·
356 pounds?! Are you kidding me, Michael? What the fuck are you doing to yourself? Every morning I would wake up and watch the number on the scale tick up as I slowly allowed obesity to run wild and consume my body. Fat . I was always the chubby kid. I shopped in the boy's husky section at Walmart as a preteen. Husky for the unware is the polite nomenclature for fat kids. I spent summers running around with my shirt on. I ate entire boxes of gummy bears for dinner. I never ordered just one...

The way it appears to me in "modern Western life", and perhaps even beyond; it all simmers down to Money. When it comes to helping folks get through the tough stuff of life, the systems in place that provide the funds to do the work, want quick results. And my God! be sure it's something that has some evidence base to it with a qualified diagnosis to boot! The systems in place want it...
