Neuroscientific therapy for all

Psychotherapy can be very helpful, because what the heart longs for is a safe haven, a loving presence so that we feel seen, loved and felt by the other.
However, the methods used now were developed before the era of the emotional brain, which began in 1980 and was in full form by 2000. Common stress levels had become so high that existing stress-resistance methods, which were cognitively based, were not sufficient. To treat stress. Influx of Stressors Chronic physiological stress rates (CPSO) are beginning to rise.
As stress increased, cognitive control was insufficient
Before the year 2000, most of us could “think our way” out of problems, but now high levels of stress cause the prefrontal cortex to function poorly and emotions to become extreme, prompting the brain to release control of the excess stress reflex wiring stored in the brain. The emotional brain.
With increasing information overload, the speed of change, and existential threats like climate change, our primitive hunter-gatherer brains have faltered. Often times, thoughts went from comforting and generating wisdom to a source of stress, with rumination, numbness, or cognitive breakdowns.
Prescribing medications without EFT can backfire
Since the emotional brain is the social brain, we rely on the healthy brain states of others to smooth out life's inevitable doldrums. However, as stress overload becomes a widespread experience and technology distances us from social experiences, the decline of society's set point has exacerbated our stress.
Health care played a role in the added stress, as talk therapy plus friends and family were unable to ease the burden. Pharmaceutical companies have helped those most in need, but perhaps all but the most vulnerable have taken the pressure off our need to learn how to cope in healthy ways. The protocols of the day were to make more use of therapy and pharmaceuticals without addressing the underlying problem: processing life cognitively without powerful emotional tools and an abundance of human connection.
Psychotherapists who are certified EBT providers talk about EBT as the new psychotherapy.
Cognitive paradox may cause self-blame
Researchers have done their part in drawing our attention to the missing link—an approach to processing emotions that meets the needs of our time, but has been largely ignored. Researchers from New York University studied the effectiveness of cognitive control on stress, and showed the worst possible results.
Cognitive approaches worked when stress was low and they didn't need it, but they failed even with moderate stress when it was needed most. This “cognitive paradox” gives users the illusion of control, but then when stress rises, they discover that the brain doesn't work the same way, and we find ourselves spiraling out of control and blaming ourselves. Patients say: “It's all my fault,” or “There's something wrong with me.” They do not know that the problem does not lie with them, but rather with a deficiency in the skill of emotional processing.
We need to adapt to the age of the emotional brain, specifically:
Amendment No. 1.
Stress treatment as a basis for psychotherapy.
Chronic stress causes biochemical and electrical changes that underlie most health problems. When assessing patients, reframe the presentation of fears as symptoms of stress wires that they can change. Communicate with them to learn about their current brain state (5-point scale), and over time, monitor their chronic stress level or set point (5-point scale).
Amendment No. 2.
Teaching the necessary skills to combat excess pressure and reconnect electrical circuits.
The basis of psychotherapy is training on the root cause of the symptoms, which is the lack of emotional tools to cope with today's extreme levels of stress. All patients need to have the basic skills of cognitive behavioral therapy (EBT) and appreciate that they can use them to completely change their physiological functions in one to three minutes. If they have issues or problems, it's just wires, and in addition to therapy sessions, they need a support circuit and tools to combat excess stress and rewire circuits between sessions. Instead of therapist-centered therapy, arrange the therapy session to serve as the beginning of the patient's week of using EBT alone, with friends and family, and with their EBT support group to interrupt the chemical stress cascade at any time And anywhere.
Amendment No. 3.
Set the treatment goal as raising the set point of the brain.
Instead of focusing on one issue after another, reframe all issues as a symptom of a stress point in the brain. Resolve their current concerns by rewiring the circuit, causing immediate relief and contributing to the overall physiological goal of raising the set point.
Using cognitive methods, the physiological stress circuit is not rewired, and the “problem” is more likely to return or be replaced by another. By raising the set point, rewired circuits are less likely to return to normal, and the patient's overall mental and physical health improves.
With stress levels on the rise, making cognitive behavioral therapy (EBT) central to psychotherapy is inevitable, both with demand coming from patients who want practical, physiologically based therapy and therapists who feel something is missing in their methods. With the integration of cognitive behavioral therapy into healthcare, all current methods will be able to work better. Many problems will be prevented because therapists address the root cause: excess stress.
