Neuroplasticity changed my life too. The brain is amazing and how we can use its power to rewrite, edit and amplify our thoughts and behaviors. I really enjoy how you reference research and books to incorporate in your pieces. Great writing!

This is amazing! Are there other proven methods that help alter neural codes that are effective other than psychotherapy ?

Zahra's avatar

Yes absolutely! Practices like mindfulness meditation, body scans, and loving-kindness meditation (Metta), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for complex trauma, psychedelic-assisted therapy is increasing in popularity, and there are some new somatic methods being pioneered too!

you reference two of the books that changed the way i think about the world and myself as a parent and a daughter ❤️‍🔥 Porges and Siegel. The Developing Mind literally transformed me. interpersonal neurobiology plus evolutionary psychology shaped the way i understand humans and the world. thank you for this article!

I completely relate. Reading Porges was like someone finally mapped out what the body has always known but couldn't articulate. Thanks for sharing <3
