3 Wellness Fundamentals to Keep Your Baseline Strong Forever with Dr. Michael Breus

People go to therapy to get support for a wide range of reasons. You might want short-term guidance dealing with grief or sudden life changes. Or perhaps you need support dealing with the long-lasting effects of trauma. But instead of spending years in traditional talk therapy, an emerging new treatment is making it possible to heal and recover faster and more effectively.On today’s episode, I’m going to talk about brain-based therapy. This approach combines neurology and psychology, focusing on understanding the role neuroplasticity plays in enhancing the positive results of therapy.Psychological distress can impact your brain by embedding deep in your neural networks and influencing your nervous system on a daily basis. If left long enough, those pathways can be difficult to untangle, leaving you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Listen in as I explain how you can use these tools in your current treatment to help rewire your brain, improve your mood, and effectively change your behavior./ / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / /Choose your own adventure.
