Your brain is making decisions based on information, and it's not just from these anonymous sources, it's from your peripheral nervous system. But your eyes, your sense of smell, what you touch, it's all providing information to your brain.
Ever wondered how your brain manages to juggle thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations all at once? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes dives deep into the intricate dance between neurotransmitters, thoughts, and emotions. The brain, our central control hub, doesn't just sit idle; it's actively interpreting signals from our senses and deciding how we feel and react. Dr. Snipes explains how excitatory neurotransmitters can boost our motivation while inhibitory ones help manage stress.
But what happens when these chemical messengers go off track? You might find yourself dealing with anxiety, depression, or even addiction. And it's not just neurotransmitters in play; hormones can also impact how well we learn and concentrate. Lack of sleep? That can throw a wrench in the works too. Dr. Snipes highlights how childhood experiences can create negative schemas that follow us into adulthood, affecting our self-esteem and relationships. However, there's hope.
By focusing on specific behaviors and reassessing old patterns from a fresh perspective, we can start to heal. Dr. Snipes offers practical tips for balancing neurotransmitters through stress reduction, proper nutrition, and quality sleep. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to understand their mind-body connection better. Tune in and learn how to foster a healthier, happier life by getting your brain's chemistry back on track.
