My healing after exhausting many therapies, stagnated helplessly as my cortisol levels reached dangerous levels.
Intrusive thoughts accompanied every trigger, haunting me for days.
Trying to figure out the meaning of the trigger first, then how to think my way out took over my existence.
After a while, I feared what my mind would do after a trigger, more than the trigger itself.
Relief came when a mindfully based therapy, Accecptance and Committment Therapy appeared.
Meditation was the only practice or therapy that made significant improvement for me.
I learned to focus intently, to let thoughts fade, to be the observer of my body sensations.
This skill transported me to my right hemisphere.
It is a place where PTSD can not exist.
Our right hemisphere has no intrusive thoughts, in fact, it has no thought, judgment, right or wrong and it knows no past or future.
PTSD dies in this space.
PTSD heals in this space.
Trauma memories can be integrated to present moment.
Our left prefrontal cortex is repaired from traumas damage.
It is the fastest way to improve, heal.
During meditation, I will take my breath to my right hemisphere, silently observing that space.
Thoughts signal I have lost my focus.
