NEURO-THERAPY Training
NEURO-THERAPY Training is a method of mental training that more directly modifies the physical and chemical responses underlying emotion; the physiology of emotion. A basic, assumption of NEURO-THERAPY Training is that fear is the most primary human emotion and motivation. (Fear being a response to a clear and present danger.) In the modern world, people experience fear more directly in the form of anxiety. (Anxiety being a response to an imagined, undefined or unknown threat.) When something threatens you, your body reacts physically. Your central nervous system comes alive with electrical impulses and a flood of neurochemicals. These physical and chemical responses are referred to in NEURO-THERAPY Training as the physiology of emotions . In NEURO-THERAPY Training the word fear refers to all nature of negative emotions. The concept of negative emotions is further distilled to refer to a mentally stimulated occurrence of physical and chemical reactions that are damaging to the organism.
Both fear and anxiety cause a readying of your body for fight or flight. In both fear and anxiety, your body mobilizes itself to meet the threat. Your muscles become tense, you breath faster and your heart beats more rapidly. This fear or anxiety response was designed to trigger a short-term response to "danger." It becomes unhealthy for your mind and body when you sustain it for long periods of time.When humans lived in more primitive times, fighting Saber tooth tigers, the stimuli were primarily for fear. When the danger passed, these intense reactions of the body passed.
As the mind evolved, conscious processes emerged to fend off "psychological danger". As humans evolved their world became more complex. Attacks or assaults requiring responses were no longer, in fact rarely, merely physical. Fear turned into anxiety requiring psychological responses. The conscious analytical realm of the human brain eventually began to trigger physical and chemical responses to psychological assaults, mental tigers, not just to physical assaults. Human interaction became more complex and communication evolved. The human brain developed concepts of a past and a future. This fear-turned-anxiety was the physical and chemical responses of the body to stimuli such as hurtful comments by others, worry about the future, guilt about past actions, and insecurity in the face of social situations. These anxiety responses became referred to by many names, fear, guilt, low self esteem, anger, frustration, etc. Human interactions and mental sophistication continued to evolve. Imagined, undefined or unknown threats, mental tigers, were now triggering intense physical and chemical reactions in the body. Ironically, the brain or thoughts themselves, rather than external threats, had now become the stimulus for the physical and chemical responses of fear. The anxiety reactions, though not as intense as those of physical, survival fear, were of the same nature and the triggers for anxiety were now constant.
