I think in some ways that helps patients, I think maybe normalize the fact that when their brain and when their behavior seems to be a repetition, that it has to do with fundamentally unconscious neurocircuits that go way back in our animal history and are automatic and that we're attempting to still make that conscious and make that come under the control of our more evolutionarily advanced cortex.
What if you could peek inside your brain to understand your deepest thoughts and feelings? In this intriguing episode of 'Whole Body Mental Health Radio', Dr. Jose Calderon-Abbo chats with Dr. W. Scott Griffies, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Duke University, about the groundbreaking field of neuropsychoanalysis. Dr. Griffies, who has a rich background in both psychiatry and psychoanalysis, shares how this emerging discipline links classical psychoanalytic concepts like the subconscious with their neural counterparts.
Imagine understanding why certain behaviors feel automatic or how early life experiences shape your emotional responses—this episode dives into all that and more. Dr. Griffies explains how our ancient brain circuits influence modern behaviors and how these circuits can be brought under the control of our more advanced brain regions. The conversation also touches on how therapy can rewire these circuits, desensitizing conditioned fears and transforming emotional responses.
You'll even get a glimpse into what happens in a therapist's brain during a session! Whether you're curious about the science behind your thoughts or looking for new ways to approach mental health, this episode offers a fascinating blend of psychology and neuroscience.
