BUT...

The word "but" dismisses what comes before it.

"I heard what you said, but, I think it needs to be done this way."
"I love you, but, I can't do this anymore".
"You're a great worker, but, we have to let you go".

Unconsciously, everything said before the "but" doesn't get heard.
Consciously, everything after the "but" gets heard and simultaneously influences emotions.

"You did a great job, but, we're going to go with Sharon's idea".
If you're on the receiving end of this language, would you feel considered?

Stop 'butting' all over yourself.

Whether you say it yourself or to someone else, catch your "but"!

Substitute your "but" for the word "AND".
This allows what is said before the "and" to co-exist with what comes after it.

"You did a great job, and, we're going to go with Sharon's idea".

This language helps the receiver to feel considered and offers a safe opening to build on clarification if needed.

Workplaces and relationships are only successful when the communication is delivered with the consideration of the receiver and the deliverer.
Not one more than the other!

50:50 consideration ratio is where healthy conversation lives.

Remember that language plays a HUGE role in emotions and nervous system activity. What you say AND how you say it matters!

Be INTENTIONAL with your choice of words and the delivery.

Use your words with the intention of harnessing consideration, connection, clarity and certainty.
When you start to communicate with this
intention, you start to train your brain to enhance empathy, reasoning and awareness.

Happy brain training 🧠 💪

Your body's speed can be just as informative to your brain's alarm system as the threats around you.

When we condition ourselves to walk fast, talk fast and fidget, we are telling our brain that we are under threat.
Yes, fidget spinners perpetuate the activation of the sympathetic nervous system!

Speed is the by-product of cortisol.

We can control our cortisol THROUGH intentional speed control.

Warning: If you struggle with accumulative or chronic stress, this may be more challenging than you think.

When your body is conditioned to think and move a certain way, it has also conditioned and toned your sympathetic nervous system. This is what allows the thoughts and movements to be well refined and automatic.

This nervous system requires "reconditioning".

Start the reconditioning by intentionally changing of your speed.

Happy brain training 🧠 💪

This ladder really represents how your self talk impacts you.

It's always worth checking in and asking yourself this question as regularly as you possibly can:

"Is this thought helping or hindering my growth?"

If your thoughts are helping your growth, continue what you're saying and doing.
If your thoughts are hindering your growth, make the decision to readjust your self talk to a monologue that will help your growth.

Happy brain training 🧠 💪

This is a video of REAL TIME neuroplasticity of some neurons in the brain.

One way neuroplasticity occurs is when neurons (nerve cells) within the brain extend their branches to form new connections with neighbouring or distant neurons.

These new connections result in enhanced communication. When many of these new connections occur in certain regions of the brain, over a period of time, we gain an overall function of that region due to "networks" of these neurons communicating.

For example, if you actively practise emotional regulation, you will be increasing the connections in certain regions of your prefrontal cortex where this function is carried out. When these connections become established and strong, the skill gets a lot easier.

HOWEVER...

When you stop practising it, these connections get "pruned" because they don't get used. This results in the degradation of that skill.

Caveat: neuroplasticity takes TIME and is a PROCESS that requires repetition in order for strong, successful connections to survive.

The neurotherapy service I offer to people is centred around increasing neuroplasticity in the areas of the brain involved in emotional regulation, reasoning, decision making, impulse control, empathy, emotional awareness, risk assessment and forward planning.

The final day at the 43rd annual Australasian Neuroscience Society was fabulous!

What a truly wonderful experience it is to learn from these phenomenal researchers.

Connecting with new people who share my love and passion for stress and trauma neurobiology has been unexpected and exhilarating!

I am super excited to build on what Neurofocused Solutions represents and offers people from a clinical perspective.
Being able to bridge the gap from research to application for the AMAZING people I work with, is without a doubt the biggest privilege I could dream of.

For me, these last few days has highlighted and reinforced that my purpose in this world is to work with people face to face, and help them understand how they can help their brains when under stress, exposed to trauma or protect their beautiful brains from the devastating physiological and mental effects of high prolonged cortisol.

For me, it's so important that people feel in control of their decisions, growth, mental health and wellness. This requires both understanding the biology of how the brain responds to stress and trauma, as well as practising the skills to address current presentations AND apply skills to prevent future trauma/stress.

Thank you to every single client, past, present and future, for having the courage to step beyond your worries or expectations around trying something new, and working with me here at Neurofocused Solutions.
Thank you to all for having the courage to be the start of something new and transformational!
Without you, I can't make the changes that are DESPERATELY needed in the mental health field.

Without you leading the way and showing others that there's a different approach to working through trauma and stress, what I do wouldn't count.

It's because of YOU!

So thank you so much to you all for being such a huge part of something special. I will be forever deeply grateful. I am excited for what the future looks like for us ❤️❤️🙏🙏

My goal is to get NFS's teachings into schools, frontline training curriculums and high risk organisations that need help understanding the neurobiology of stress and trauma, and I need YOU to help me do this!

We need to change how the world understands, addresses and prevents these ailments.
I know we can do it together 💪🧠

On behalf of the team behind the scenes at NFS and myself, THANK YOU! 🙏🧠💪

Happy brain training 🧠 💪

Day 2 of the ANS conference was 🤯🤯🤯

Today we covered the latest findings on:
- neurobiological circuitry in psychiatric conditions
- neuroimaging and mapping the brain's circuitry
- imbalances of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal networks in the stressed brain 😁😁😁

What a day!

Let the fun begin 💪🧠

It's unfair to your nervous system, if you enjoy the thrill of amping it up, but not have the awareness and/or skills to bring it back down.

Having all that adrenaline, cortisol, dopamine, glutamate, serotonin and endorphins bathing your brain can be exhilarating and addictive.
It's not surprising that we can want more and more and more.
The brain doesn't discriminate if the thrill comes from work or leisure, nervous system excitement is nervous system excitement.
It doesn't care if it is fuelled by anger, fear, excitement, anxiety or happiness, it just knows that it is elevated.

WARNING:
There's a payoff to this excessive intensity seeking behaviour.

Because our nervous systems aren't designed to be this high so regularly, some compensatory changes have to happen.

1. The receptors (locks) for these chemicals (keys) get told to reduce in numbers to protect the brain.
This means that the sensitivity level for these chemicals will decrease. Higher amounts of these chemicals will be needed to get the same "adrenaline high".
The cycle continues until structural changes occur in the brain.
This helps to "normalise" reactivity to uncertain stimulus.

2. These chemicals at high amounts, on a prolonged basis, are neurotoxic.
This causes brain cell death, particularly in parts of your brain that regulate the circuits of excitement, making it harder to quit the behaviors.

Learn to listen to your nervous system's voice as well as your thoughts of desire.

Sure, have your hits of pleasure and excitement, AND equally, actively do things that help calm your nervous system and come right down to "low" on a regular basis.
You can do this by INTENTIONALLY slowing the speed of your walking and talking, and by INTENTIONALLY changing your posture to reflect relaxation eg. softening shoulders, loosing your jaw, sitting with your hands in your lap.

This will keep your nervous system healthy and balanced so you can enjoy the benefits of both ends of your nervous system spectrum, as well as a healthy brain.

Finally here in Hobart, Tasmania for the 43rd Australasian Neuroscience Society conference. What a beautiful part of the world!
This is my first time in this extraordinary part of Australia.

I'm looking forward to networking with others that work in my field of stress and trauma neurobiology.

With time and exposure, I am hoping to break the mold of what neurobiological resources are avaialble for frontline workers and their organisations.

Police, ambos and firies, there is so much more neuroeducation available to keep your brain safe from accumulative stress and trauma.

PLEASE get in touch with me directly if you're a frontliner and want neuroscience-based 1-1 help to work through and overcome ANY stress/trauma related ailment, face to face or online.

If you hold a position in your organisation where you can bring in an external training resource to learn about stress and trauma neurobiology, with the goal of prevention and management to overcome these ailments, please get in touch with me.

More than ever, we are in a prime position to learn about how to protect our brains when exposed to abnormal information through neuroscience.
No matter what state you live in or work in, please get in touch!

Happy brain training 🧠 💪
