Quote: Ah..thanks for mentioning the "rewiring" thing in your post, Pam (and thanks for being good natured about my reference to you lol?).
I think this re-wiring idea is completely valid. YES traumas the like of which cause PTSD DO affect brain function and structure. (more so with repeated traumas...apparently what doesn't kill us does not necessarily make us stronger... )
BUT there ARE ways to rewire the brain...the self talk, self soothing, distraction, MEDITATION...as I've mentioned before brain scans show an actual shift from the anxious right hemiphere to the Left "feel good" frontal areas when one meditates...and the more one does it the more lasting the changes!
It CAN be done!

Hey, I KNOW I have pulled some dumb stunts!
Well, I have had a good feeling all week, I figured the Zoloft was building up, but I have been meditating real regular and it actually builds so much pressure in the left side sometimes it almost hurts and I feel almost like I go into a trance or something. It is pretty strange. But if it helps this feel good feeling Yippee!!!
