Brain Chemistry and PTSD

PTSD is all about brain chemistry and what happens to the brain during and immediately after the critical, traumatic incident. Essentially, the chemicals that flood the brain during the trauma do so in order to help the person to survive the event, either by running away, or fighting furiously. A third option, to submit to the trauma also has brain chemistry implications. In some individuals, once the brain goes through this chemical ‘rewiring’ to survive the trauma, the wiring stays that way.

Sample Chapter from: 'Gentling: a Practical Guide to Treating PTSD in Abused Children'

5 The Stress Episode As therapists, one of our major tools is our words. Most adults, when they witness a child who is severely upset over what appears to not want to follow a directive, will label the behavior a “tantrum”, or at best “acting out”. In most cases, this is a fairly accurate term for the behavior that the child is exhibiting. When a stress disordered child engages in similar behaviors, the source and quality of the behaviors will be different at different times.

The Gentling Approach to PTSD in Abused Children

Perhaps the most notable flaw in all of the current treatment methods of treating children for stress disorders, including acute stress and post traumatic stress, is that they are modeled largely on the experiences and diagnostic criteria of adults. Not much treatment development has been made from existing research about the bio-chemical nature of stress disorders to address alte ate models for specific treatment of children.

Problems With the Use of Traditional Behavior Modification Techniques in Treating PTSD in Children

The use of traditional behavior modification techniques with stress disordered children needs to be done with caution and extra care. The issue of the primary source of the child’s behaviors needs to take precedence over simply “pressing on” with behavior modification techniques. The key indicator to the clinical team treating the child is that they will find the child’s behaviors getting much worse despite using behavioral methods that should be working. This initially can be mistaken as an “extinction burst”, and the team may be motivated to apply more behavior modification pressure.

Caeayaron Says To Wake Up Because The Great Father Is Calling

Let us start by identifying just who is the Great Father, okay? He is the Creator or the Great I AM that has been hidden away. You may wonder at this statement as to who hid who in disguise. The answer is the god of this world is not the Great Father in the skies. That tiny entity acts like the Coo Coo bird by putting his eggs in another nest! He steals others life force energy that is pure light, and should be under arrest. Out of envy he abused the sacred trust he was given to guard the people, too.

Even though he caught my attention at first, another channel rang my chimes! The first man I realized after listening was not really giving much information. It was only when I watched the other (who is a woman speaking contemplation.)

PTSD Battle Skills

Each experience that we survive through brings a solid skill. We need to celebrate that PTSD only wounded us, but did not kill! The battle over our minds is the stronghold of the evil enemy. Let us beware of thoughts that negate love, while filled with envy. We must remember that Creator gave us a free-will, and shall not interfere. He will use our bad choices, only not sin to put His glory into gear. Genesis 50:20 puts this meaning into reverse as, “you meant evil against me.” Such is revealed when contemplating on how the Great Father meant it for good, you see.

There are light, gray clouds in the sky (that really effect the soul.) They are not really clouds at all, but dark forces with an evil goal! Such awful covering over the blue sky binds those with PTSD, too. One cannot reach the coat of joyfulness while grayness dampens through. The news media focuses on negative events that they skew.

The things like protective mechanisms may no longer be advantageous. Those emotions of anger, and fear prevented us from becoming courageous. Part of our emotional, self-overhaul comes from our internal perspective, too. Perhaps, we may feel we have gotten on in age for a dream to come true.

PTSD Closes Open Doors

Think earnestly, even if our life’s PTSD experience has taught us to be mean. To continue to mistreat others this way, we only allow misery to glean. By persisting to act out old behavior, we deprive ourselves, too. Instead of moving forward, we endorse what has made us blue! We react to being threatened with misdirected anger to new situations. As we apply old, unspoken rules life endures with complications. With this kind of malicious thinking we become frozen in our past. The little successes we struggled to make (most certainly) do not last.

PTSD Healing Is Not Free

We should beware of merchants offering their goods for free. Examine their motives, with strings attached, for healing PTSD. Satan, and his demons are a type of merchant with strings, too. He may suggest taking the easy way out in suicide, which is true. Doctors, and therapists may make referrals for insurance to pay. Their advice may be full of fluff, without substance, per say.

For instance, “What can we get rid of today to proliferate a better tomorrow?” A good habit to use is what we learned in language class at grade school.

Walk PTSD Out Of Life’s Closed Doors

What a strange concept, that seems to pull away from reality. It will make more sense, if we connect PTSD to emotions of carnality. Okay, let us give these emotions a face describing the following list. The carnal man or woman connects to fear, anger, worry, stress, and lust. In reference to such connections we with PTSD disconnect with Spirit. We may be stretching our mind forward (with great therapeutic effort.) There are several kinds of services to try to get our minds filled with some peace. The truth is that, if we do not connect to the Spirit of peace, we have no release.r
