Depression is a collapse of the nervous system, when we are so deprived of life-energy we cannot sustain participation in life. Neuroscience and resonant language can help us understand the latest research about what causes depression, and what can help.
Understanding poly-vagal theory, emotional circuitry, and the nervous system state changes that are part of depression helps us look at our brains and say: of course!
Interventions for depression include time-traveling with empathy for aloneness; freeing the seeking circuit to do it’s job; learning self-warmth and needs-based meditation, healing ancestral trauma, discovering and releasing unconscious contracts, detoxing the critical default mode network, and balancing the endocannabinoid system.
We are given a sense that we make sense (or not) by our mothering people in a key phase of attachment bonding that occurs between 0 and 4 months old. We can use self-resonance to re-pattern attachment disruptions that may have occurred, and build a healthy secure...
Climate anxiety is not primarily a disease. Instead it is an understandable reaction to the magnitude of the environmental problems that surround us. What is climate anxiety?Climate anxiety is a sub-set of eco-anxiety: a feeling of worry, nervousness or unease...
Bringing resonance and accompaniment back to our wounded selves is the key to healing brains that have been fragmented by traumatic experience. This is called many names, for example: CRM Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM)® I call it the Time Traveling with Resonance...
Healing our inner voice begins with understanding what it wants. I recently appeared on Dr. Trevor Blattner's podcast, The Top 1%, where we spoke about how to use mindfulness, meditation, and resonant language to heal and reclaim access to our brains for purpose and...
Joy and the PLAY circuit are the most vulnerable emotional circuitry we have as humans. Our capacity to experience joy is especially vulnerable to the ways in which we have experienced feeling unsafe, unaccompanied, or not having a sense of mattering to those around...
What can neuroscience bring us about how to heal guilt and shame, and practice radical self-acceptance, in the context of the world we live in where to be alive is inherently compromising the lives of others?
We know from the insights of relational neuroscience that permanent shifts and healing change are created when we meet ourselves with warmth, not shame or force. Healing depression starts with self-warmth. Here’s how.
Some of you know, but perhaps many don't, that I spent most of my early and adult life smothered by chronic, unwavering, deeply immobilizing depression. My brain attacked me like Edward Scissorhands, using sharp, weaponized words and criticisms that crushed me into...
