![]() Important studies focused on the ways in which the consolidation and retrieval of a clear event memory are made impossible when the brain’s hippocampus process is inhibited by fear, styming the frontal cortex’s ability to witness the experience. ![]() Janina Fischer’s work on the mechanisms of trauma has examined the mind and the brain to both locate and navigate through crisis with the most effective and healing responses. We provide suggestions for “brain-friendly” psychotherapy.ĪBSTRACT Until quite recently, most trauma treatment did not fully examine the profound psychophysical dysregulation which interferes with perception and cognition, affecting trauma’s impact upon the body, the brain and the mind (Fisher, 2000). The default mode network is vital to our sense of self and sense of agency, moral sensitivity, organizing memory to reconstruct the past, simulating the future such as inner rehearsal and daydreaming, and imagination such as free association, stream of consciousness, and taking other people’s perspective. First we begin with an overview of the unconscious functions at work, day and night, in our physical, emotional, and mental life: resting-state networks, especially the default mode network vagal nervous system and heart-rate variability ultradian and circadian rhythms reward and stress networks and the mirror neuron network. ![]() We will be looking at very specific ways that hypnosis and hypnotherapy influence these changes, and at some of the dysfunctional conditions that they can be helpful in managing or repairing, such as addictions, ADHD, autism, chronic pain, depression, and sleep disorders. The brain is constantly adapting to new information and new circumstances, e.g., modifying patterns of connection between different parts of the brain and reorganizing neural pathways and functions (neuroplasticity), as well as developing new neurons (neurogenesis). ![]() Abstract: Psychotherapy, and in particular hypnotherapy, affects the brain, as well as the thoughts and beliefs processed by the brain, through the process of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. ![]()
