Helping Couples Grow

CORONA HAS GONE GLOBAL...BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO

I went LIVE yesterday in my Neurofeedback Moms Facebook group to talk about how the virus has gone global...but that many of us are going global in our relationships as well. The difference is, WE may have a choice.

I shared some of what I'm seeing in the couples and families I'm working with and some ideas to promote a different way of thinking about our family relationships. AND, of course, I will speak briefly about how neurofeedback can help.

Fascinating

Someone recently told me that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. So if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. It’s why we feel more stable after crying, as if whatever emotion we were feeling had been released and we were refreshed. This is also why tears from different emotions look different under an electron microscope. They’re literally made up of different things. According to Joseph Stromberg of the Smithsonian’s College of Arts and Sciences, happy tears are structurally different than sad tears than angry tears than overwhelmed tears etc. Different types of tears have distinct molecules. Emotional tears have protein-based hormones including the neurotransmitter leucine enkephalin, which is a natural painkiller that is released when we are stressed.
