Mindfulness

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the capacity to be present for this life - to be with the fullness of the human experience, with all its pleasure and pain, gain and loss, love and heartache.

Mindfulness is the gateway through which we can truly experience our life and everything it means to be in this human condition.

It is through mindfulness that we come fully and wholly into ourselves and our experience.

It is in Wholeness that we are at ease, and it is in fragmentation that all suffering lives. Such fragmentation occurs because the totality was too much; too overwhelming, too painful, too threatening. Disconnection from that which is too much protects us. And it divides us. 

PTSD

PTSD

Any threat that overwhelms our ability to keep ourselves safe is inherently traumatizing to our nervous system.

Whether such a threat is real or perceived, whether it is physical, mental or emotional, makes no difference. Our nervous system does not discriminate between physical annihilation and annihilation of the self. Such situations directly conflict with our primary biological imperative: to survive. And when such a visceral drive is undermined, it has profound and lasting impact on our mind and body.

Trauma fundamentally changes the brain.

Deep Dive: EMDR, A Primer for Patients
Deep Dive: EMDR, A Primer for Patients

Imagine our brain as a room with one giant filing cabinet in the centre of it. The filing cabinet is made up of many drawers (representing memory networks), which are filled with many files (representing brain cells). At birth, most of these files are strewn about the room haphazardly, with relatively few being stored in the filing cabinet. During the course of our life, the files in the room are gradually organized into drawers of the filing cabinet.
