And new things will come up when you go back, and then you'll reprocess it.
You can follow a ball.
You can hold the buzzers in each hand.
It's about stimulating both sides of your brain.
What's happening in mental health now is so fascinating because...
when you parallel it with what happened in medicine, we used to treat the symptom.
So if someone had a fever, they treated the fever, but they didn't know what the cause was.
So they'd put you in cold water or boiling water, whatever they did, and then they found out about viruses and bacteria, so they started treating the cause.
Now in mental health, you're starting to see that revolution because of the advances in neuroscience where they can look at the brain and they can actually see what parts are responsible for what, where trauma shows up in the brain.
They just did a recent study.
It was a big study about how traumatic memories don't come back as memories.
come back, they light up in the part of your brain as if it's happening now, which makes sense.
We knew that because, you know, when Vietnam vets start bugging out and they're in the supermarket or whatever, but they can actually see it now in the brain that the brain is processing it as it's happening now.
So, you know, converging neuroscience and psychology and all the things that they've known from all these different advances and
It seems to be in a place now where trauma is becoming one of the things that they focus on the most, like early childhood trauma or traumatic events in war.
Obviously, we know that that's, you know, a big that's the specific cause of what.
is bothering those people, is what they've experienced.
And so now they're targeting the trauma, but they have ways to treat the trauma with EDMR, with brain spotting it's called, a whole bunch of these tactics.
