resetting your synapse

One little point I want to write about while I hope time.

Re-setting your synapses in the brain: it's conditioning your thought process when you think of something that causes you fear.

I was taught recently that when I flash back: or panic because of fear I think of a picture of the response how that response feels. Or when was the last time i felt like it, or the memory of the trauma. I picture it front of me like a hollogram, i focus on it make it smaller and smaller and darker until its far from me until my heart beat relaxes and until it dissapears.

This is great for restructing ur thoughts but what about bodily responses, I have a hard time with panic attacks and my body reacts to triggers I am no conciously aware of. What then?? I was walked through and excersize where when i panic, I try and reassociate what the trigger was to what just happened. As in pain, but what caused the pain? It wasnt that tragic event from my past it was something in my present. Which could also bring me pleasure, So i ground the feeling not from the past memory but I try and reassociate the pain to the pleasure response of the passing moment. Therefore anytime i now feel that sort of pain, it doesnt bring back to memory of pain, it then brings back the pleaure aspect of the pain. There pain becomes pleasure.

You can do this with fear: parents bothering you? Their words are hurting but instead of picturing their hurt in the memory you change the floating memory in front of you to have your parents speak like clowns or cartoon characters. Now you have re-associated your fear and hurt into laughter and hilarity.

Any memory can be handled the same way.
