It’s time to free yourself from toxic and destructive reactions to stressful situations. Therapy that addresses neuroplasticity can help you develop healthier behaviours.
Neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to form new connections that lead to better experiences. A qualified therapist offers effective strategies to leverage this mental function to “rewire” your brain.
Therapy isn’t just about talking; it’s about rewiring the machinery of your mind so you can benefit from these outcomes:
- Clarity of Hindsight: Identifying old patterns to help prevent your brain from defaulting to the same old burnouts and shutdowns.
- Power of the Pause: Mastering the split-second between a thought and a reaction to help you choose better responses.
- Resilience Loop: Teaching you to “act your way into thinking” to train your brain to choose resilience over stress.
- System of Success: Shifting your focus from goals to systems to help achieve the successes you crave.
At Therapy By You, our therapist helps you identify toxic patterns and gives you useful tools to choose better outcomes. Contact us to talk with someone who knows what you’re going through and wants to help!
Neuroplasticity & Therapy: Strategies for Better Choices
One of the biggest discoveries in modern neuroscience is that your brain is never really “set in stone.”
Through the power of neuroplasticity, you have the ability to bypass those old shortcuts to engineer a more resilient mind.
Therapy provides the blueprint by offering effective strategies for maximizing the complex science of the brain. A skilled therapist helps you experience these positive outcomes:
1. Insight to Map Your Mental Forest
Think of your brain as a dark forest and your habits as lanterns hanging from the trees. These lights guide you down “trails” you’ve established throughout your lifetime. Some of these lanterns were hung in a hurry to help you through difficult times. These can become bad habits if you’re using them in every stressful situation.
Therapy helps you develop the insight that works with your neuroplasticity to light new lanterns for new trails. These help guide you toward better choices and improved outcomes.
2. Practice the Pause: Noticing the First Thought
We can’t control those immediate thoughts that pop into our heads. That’s just part of being human. Working with a qualified therapist can help you train your brain to understand where these thoughts come from.
Once you discover the cause, you can “pause” yourself before you react. This gives you healthier, less explosive, and harmful ways to respond to challenging situations.
3. Action-Based Philosophy for Life
Self-improvement isn’t thinking your way into a new life, it’s acting yourself into a new way of thinking. Each time you try a new approach, you get a different outcome. From this, your brain creates new and better trails for you to mentally travel.
This approach you learn in therapy is an effective way to start building a better life for yourself.
4. Consistency: Falling to the Level of Your Practices
Real change doesn’t come from doing something just once. You must commit to a long-term improvement system.
A top-tier therapist will tell it to you straight: “You don’t rise to your goals, you fall to practices.” Such a talented mental health expert works closely with you to show up for your new habits every day.
