Harness the Power of Resources
Understanding the concept of resources in trauma healing enhances therapeutic practices by emphasizing the neurobiological aspect of how experiences are stored as state-dependent memories. Resources are identified as neural networks that contribute positively to an individual's self-awareness and adaptability. Unlike trauma networks, resources facilitate a healthier understanding of oneself and the world. To effectively integrate new adaptive experiences into a client's resources, it's crucial to focus on their present moment emotional awareness, ensuring they genuinely feel the positive sensations associated with those experiences. This real-time engagement transforms past positive experiences into valuable resources for ongoing healing and growth.
