NEUROLIMBIC

limbic system dysfunction

now that we understand the working of the limbic system and its direct connection with our brain chemistry and hormonal health, and the key role of employing bio compatible formulas designed to optimise neurotransmission, the next step is to establish the rewiring and retraining our brain. this is achieved through working with the brain's natural neuroplasticity - to understand this process we first need to understand the elements of limbic dysfunction.

what is limbic system dysfunction?

as we know, the limbic system functions to interpret sensory information and determine whether something is threatening or benign. then, based on this determination, it prompts the nervous system to activate the appropriate response - to react if a threat is perceived or else return to parasympathetic functioning (calm) if deemed safe.

because the primary job of the limbic system is to keep us safe, it can sometimes react on the side of caution, and learns from past events to overprotect us in the future. For instance, a specific sensory stimuli can get misclassified as threatening when it is actually benign. this leads to chronic elevation of the sympathetic stress response, leaving you stuck in a high alert emergency mode of activation, resulting in chronic stress, insomnia, elevated blood pressure, chronic fatigue, anxiety or pain. limbic system dysfunction occurs on a spectrum and manifests in a multitude of ways. while one person may notice sleep disorders and chronic fatigue, another person may notice the overproduction of cortisol and heightened blood pressure.

research shows that many of ailments occur as the result of a ‘conditioning effect’ that takes place when the limbic system becomes overwhelmed and traumatized, leading to an overactive stress response from conditioned patterns in the brain. in this impaired state, the limbic system can inappropriately stimulate the us as if an ongoing threat was present, even though it has long passed. in this way, the limbic system can effectively get “stuck” in an overactive stress response which if left unaddressed can lead to a plethora of perpetual unwanted symptoms that stem from keeping the body in survival mode. These conditions, while not acutely life-threatening, can severely compromise one's quality of life.

whatever your symptoms may be, and however intense they are, they can eventually be neutralized with limbic brain retraining based on neuroplasticity - the brain’s ability to change and develop new neural pathways. Using specific neurocognitive exercises, it is possible to get your brain and body out of “emergency mode” and back to a place of safety and balance where well-being can naturally resume. by retraining and rewiring the limbic system, one can change these vicious cycles, anxiety and ill health, into virtuous circles of healing, rest, and revitalization.

neuroplasticity

we've all heard about neuroplasticity - which is the brain's ability to change adapt and rewire in response to new experiences and stimuli. what is less known about is neuroplasticity from a limbic perspective. the limbic system is often overlooked but it forms the key to long term sustainable solutions to some of the most crippling life problems we face today. as the limbic system is directly involved with our brain chemistry and our hormones any dysfunction or impairment directly affects our overall health and well being. neuroplasticity is a groundbreaking discovery that has provided possibility for healing from conditions that stem from a limbic system dysfunctions, allowing us to gradually shift the processes that underlie a wide range of chronic conditions.

what is limbic system retraining?

limbic system retraining refers techniques aimed at restoring proper function to the limbic system. during dysfunction, the limbic system can be reset to a heightened state of arousal and anxiety. limbic system retraining takes place using the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself thanks to neuroplasticity. working with the brain and its neuro-plastic capabilities can help “reset” this system back in harmonious alignment. It is a powerful method to recalibrate the brain’s threat-detection system, helping reclaim calm to your nervous system and restore balance (homeostasis). neuroplasticity and targeted limbic brain retraining exercises can help you overcome chronic symptoms and improve your well-being with our award winning program specifically designed to address limbic system dysfunction.

neuroplasticity is the foundation of our brain retraining program which is science-backed to eliminate the dysfunctional neural pathways with simple techniques. you can help your brain get out of fight-or-flight mode by applying easy-to-follow neurocognitive techniques to directly retrain the unconscious nervous and immune system response. this is all possible thanks to neuroplasticity which is achieved through incorporating consistent brain re-training, backed by our extensive support system which has been developed especially to support you with science based guidance. this approach does not chase or mask symptoms, but rather works to rewire the part of the brain that’s causing the dysfunction (the limbic system), resulting in long-lasting recovery.

what are the components of an effective limbic system retraining program?

the process of improving brain function by building new beneficial neural pathways is made possible thanks to brain plasticity. The limbic system responds with the help of deliberate brain retraining or ‘rewiring’ exercises. our program has been designed by our expert Ph.D. neuroscientists and clinical psychologists, to incorporate specially developed techniques that anyone learn to apply to their own unique condition.

for effective limbic system retraining the first step is becoming aware of the heightened stress response, what triggers it, and how it feels, in the body and mind. Next comes the interruption of the vicious cycle of reacting to symptoms. this is typically done through a combination of techniques to rewrite old mental scripts or trauma loops. to support this, shifting your brain chemistry from CAN (Cortisol, Adrenaline, Norepinephrine) dominant to DOSE (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins) dominant is crucial. this is typically done through specific technique applications to allow oneself to become immersed in pleasant enjoyable sensory experiences such that an an emotional shift will be felt in your body. the process of identifying, interrupting, and replacing an old, unpleasant experience or response with a new positive one, to eventually become its own reward triggers the release of dopamine with respect to the act of improving one’s brain through limbic retraining exercises. lastly, effective brain rewiring program requires repetition for lasting permanent change.

it is important to understand that we heal in community - nothing can replace true community support. our group events are a collaborative experience where you participate in sessions led by a certified facilitator alongside others participating in the program. it provides an opportunity to share experiences, gain insights, and receive guidance in a supportive and uplifting group setting. these group events are ongoing and each session focuses on a specific part of the program. the results are powerful - some participants report feeling dramatic shifts in as little as a single session.
