Understanding the intricate workings of neural networks can be a powerful tool in trauma recovery. This episode explores how our brains create and maintain neural connections, often leading to unhelpful thought patterns and responses. By visualizing these networks as branching trees, we can better comprehend how trauma affects our thinking and behavior. The concept of neural network overlaps and compartmentalization helps explain many common trauma symptoms. Recognizing the distinction between our conscious selves and our brain’s automatic programming allows for greater agency in healing. This perspective offers hope for rewiring trauma responses and creating healthier neural pathways.
