The discovery that your parentage isn't what you believed creates a unique type of psychological trauma that many don't understand.

NPE/MPE trauma brings symptoms like identity crisis, overwhelming grief for the family history you thought you had, anger, and profound feelings of betrayal. These reactions aren't overreactions—they're normal responses to an extraordinary situation.

What's important to remember is that this discovery doesn't define your worth or your future. With the right support and specialized treatments like neurofeedback therapy, EMDR, and personalized counseling, you can work through these complex emotions.

At Serin Center, we understand that healing from NPE/MPE trauma requires more than traditional approaches—it requires innovative, science-based therapies that address both the emotional and neurological impacts of this unique trauma. Your story doesn't end with this discovery; it transforms.

The mind-body connection is powerful.🧠↔️💪

A study in Biological Psychiatry reveals that just the thought of alcohol can trigger a pronounced dopamine response in people with a family history of alcohol use disorder. This may be a key to understanding risk.

The good news is, new treatments are emerging that can modify the brain's reward center. By changing how the brain reacts to specific substances, these treatments can both prevent addiction from developing and effectively treat those currently struggling with it.
