Neuroplasticity Explained: How to Rewire Your Brain for Mental Strength

[@bolajiyoloye8968]

For anyone who has experienced brain trauma, neuroplasticity provides hope that all is not lost. Excellent presentation 👏👏👏

[@quake2u]

Yeah I've been hearing this stuff for year but have seen nothing.

[@YukiSatagawa]

It really does help!! My sisters have actually really utilised it so well. I have never seen such strength and independence more than the women in my family have shown. ✨ I wouldn’t have believed things could get better but they do! You just can’t stop

[@bolajiyoloye8968]

@quake2u it takes time, . My replies keep being deleted but there are charities who support people who suffer from acquired brain injury. Neuroplasticity plays a big, big part of that rehabilitation process.

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

Avoid substances like pot and alcohol. Avoid all activities that have a high risk of banging your head against something, Get the best possible sleep you can, all the time, every night. Brain damage is no joke.

[@Dandelionsandbutterflies]

How?

[@jaidadraco]

I studied neuropsychology and behavioral neuropsychology in university, and this is such a great overview. Habits and even thought patterns that have been strengthened since childhood, since trauma, repeatedly over and over again are part of what makes recovery and healing so difficult. They are literally physically built into the pathways of our brain. But luckily, we aren't stuck with them. They are easy to fall back into, but we can ALWAYS build new pathways and new habits to help us build a healthier life and a healthier brain. Our brain is so beautiful. I'm glad this type of video can make this valuable information available to more people!!!

[@mindcache5650]

I studied Neuroscience to discover my problems after having my HPA axis assaulted from 3 months old by CPTSD. I thought it was incurable but my new Psychiatrist believes rewiring is possible. Frigging hope so. 64 years of it.

[@mindkindmom]

@@mindcache5650 Possibilities abound if we believe and do the work. Everyday in everyway I am getting better.

[@lynellb]

Yes, this is awesome. Louise Hay taught the same but without the psych terminology, simpler language...

[@zeynepcengiz8123]

I want more of neuroplasticity videos if its possible

[@gawtus]

Me too

[@redmanjones362]

I appreciate your content. I have been doing well recovering from cardiac arrest which put me in a coma for a month. I was brain dead - when i woke up I couldn't speak, walk, or talk. I couldn't recognize my mother, sister, brothers or children. I am making new memories and strive to get 1% better each day!

Bonjour, comment on fait pour donner des sous ...je ne vois pas l'option merci

[@sonofYsrael1]

Absolutely empowering information. I've been a Paramedic for over 10 years and I've scene stroke patients regain functions that doctors said they would not. You are doing divine work dear sister. I look forward to exploring the cards. Thank you for this high value. Blessings and shalom

[@bens5859]

One thing that makes you stand out among YT psych channels: you communicate with the perfect tone. Not "gentle" - which can encourage complacency (speaking only for myself.) Yet not abrasive or shaming in the slightest. Might be the just the balance I need right now 👍

[@TRENKROM]

I think the best form of challenging mental activity is to try and learn a completely new skill. Pick up guitar, learn how to dance, try juggling or yoyo; stuff that requires you to move in new ways and will inevitably require lots of failure before success

[@Aseeyah-vt9kl]

Orthodox Naturopath doctors were laughed at when they said the body and mind worked together and the body is a self healing organism. At any rate , this is great information.

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

I did laugh...when AZ naturopaths wanted to do liposuction without a surgical residency. Scary. Who does that?

[@PinkYellowGreen2023]

This is great

[@betsyc6055]

I’m doing Neuro feedback right now and I have to say this is the best illustration of Neuroplasticity. Because I’ve been doing work for a while it’s working faster but I definitely have part of my brain and traumatized so it’s really incredible how we can reshape the brain back to a better homeostasis

[@Sauci4Lyfe]

This is the first hope that I’ve had to repair my brain in the longest thank you so much❣️ please take me as a patient. I don’t live very far from your office and I am in desperate need of consistency, I’m begging you to please help me.

[@steceymorgan814]

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[@APOLLINAIREBARTHOLOMIEU]

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

[@elizabethwilliams6651]

dr.zachary3 is the man

[@APOLLINAIREBARTHOLOMIEU]

On Inst?

[@elizabethwilliams6651]

Yes

[@patriaciasmith3499]

Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression. The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.

[@Truthseeker371]

Daily habits can be changed and it's fun to break mundane routine. That's why I love travelling and living in different countries. I get mentally and emotionally rejuvenated and enjoy new challenges with adaptability and understanding. More "Wow" moments every day. No time to be wasting in trivials. Break the routine and boredom by embracing changes and differences. Life is still a great experience.

[@KevinVeroneau]

My therapist I had since the 90s thought me about this subject when I was still very young. It was very inspirational to have held this knowledge over my years.

[@j.chayo45]

This video is wonderful! It made me cry, it let me know I have a chance to become a normal person. I grew up with sexual and physical abuse since age 5. I am remarried and I don't understand why I lash out and have anger. My husband has zero tolerance for that type of behavior so I'm constantly battling myself. My day to day is constant struggles.

[@munecahermosaddios1286]

Blessings to you

Active listening... I had a friend who would call me while she actively drove her car. We're no longer friends - our last conversation happened while she drove... and carelessly offered advice when I just wanted her to listen.

[@lesley4215]

I love this science! I use it for chronic pain and it has cut my suffering in half!!

[@penelopepitstock]

Great video, I really love the way you explain things so clearly and without any gimmicks. This is very useful information for me right now as I've just gotten control of my anxiety through dialectial behaviour therapy and looking to build more new, healthy habits and thought patterns.

[@malcolmpalmer2249]

I have experienced two lots of trauma that has impacted my life. Neuroplasticity has helped so much to regain confidence and the freedom to feel happy again. Still more to learn and practice. Thanks for the videos Dr Marks. Thanks to all those making wonderful comments. Your experiences and positive re enforcement give weight to the subject

[@YggDroid-fh2kk]

Your content is always top-notch and it keeps getting better and better every day! I am not sure how to express how happy this makes me! Just keep it up!

[@lynellb]

Thank you Dr. T. Marks!! 💖. I've been practicing this since my brain injury two years ago. I told myself I'm coming out of recovery a different person 🥰

[@SteadySoul-Affs]

well explained! loved the video, I personally use and create affirmation videos to promote plasticity via my positive thinking and affirmations and rampages for myself and the world to use! 🧡

[@eli9187]

thank you, Dr. Marks. I just suffered a really bad TBI in april and have been so depressed and hopeless about getting better. I did a lot of my own research but the cards will be so helpful!!!! Thank you for putting it all in one place.

[@ann18o96]

Even though I knew the basics about neuroplasticity, I really appreciate the practical advice. Whenever we are tired, exhausted or distracted, we easily fall back into the old paths. But that doesn't mean it's a failure. Every time we choose the new one, we are building it up. It requires more effort, but will also give a bigger reward. When the new path becomes the default, you truely have built a new habit.

[@jerometan8661]

Increase neuroplasticity: 1. learn new skills and challenge your brain 2. mindfulness and metacognition (thinking about thinking)

[@lyndathompson6315]

Thank you Doctor. This gives me hope for having fibromyalgia and after my Neuro studies, fibromyalgia may be recovered Neuro plasticity. 🙏🏻

[@zak-a-roo264]

Surfing isn't a thing you can practice when there aren't waves, practice is the act itself. In the 80's we were encouraged by our old hippie surf coach to spend time IMAGINING doing the trick/maneuver we wanted to improve on, especially before sleep and upon waking. It really seemed to help , at times , maybe better than actual physical trying......On the same line of thought, Multi-day art projects are HUGE for the brain to grow, you don't really stop thinking about the progress of the art, do a bit before bed and upon waking over some coffee. Jumpstart the brain right off the bat!!

[@penelopepitstock]

That's so intersting, I've often found 'practice' using visualisation helpful for various things over the years. I'm trying to find my way back into some kind of artistic activities too for relaxaction and seems like everything is pointing me in this direction for my overall mental health.

[@zak-a-roo264]

@penelopepitstock i draw and carve wood, my original carving ideas sprang from a Highschool teacher telling me I wouldn't make money from surfing doodles on my math papers, she's been wrong for 30+ yrs. "Thumbnail" sketches are great for getting out ideas quik with no wasted time and energy, no consequences, especially for trauma work, in my opinion.

[@JSFGuy]

A great timing.

I love this video. My background is in the field of adult education. Right now, I am working in an adult literacy centre, and I explain this to adult learners to help them understand how we learn and that it is possible for them to learn new skills. I use the 'well worn' and 'new pathway' analogy as well. Thank you for your videos. They are extremely informative and very well done.

"Social isolation" can be quite good for someone escaping those who are abusive

[@chrissyosozzy6465]

Social isolation is like cancer, trust me. Better sit in a quite library or coffeshop

[@tarakennedy707]

It's not. It's a defense mechanism but it is very counterproductive. Humans are social creatures and crave connection.

[@hockinghillsalive3624]

I was literally just talking about this yesterday. I have spent nearly two decades as a "high performing addict," being a smoker, and relying on and developing other poor addictions. I feel that I have almost fully healed from past trauma, have a better understanding of how it impacted me over the years, and am almost ready to become an addict in recovery. I was thinking yesterday that I will need to reshape my brains pathways and habits in order to do this. That I will not only need to rewire my brain, but also work to create better and more healthy habits to replace my poor ones. Thank you, for all that you do to help people. Thank you for this video!

I was unaware of my early childhood trauma until last year. My people-pleasing trauma-type personality rooted in my fawn response to my older brother's emotional abuse was like honey to a malignant narc and a covert narc who promptly split up my wife's family of 7 vulnerable girls. My wife and I had been the most respected members of her family until they married into the family. Four sisters have been under their spell for 39 years. And their children have no direction in life. While our children have graduated from universities and have good careers and we have 9 grandchildren.

[@Бойко-к9ч]

Hello, Dr Tracey Marks. Nice to meet you. Your videos are one of the best I've ever seen. I want to ask you something. When I was 19 or 20 years old, I started conflicting with my mother. She was crossing my boundaries and wanted to tell .e what to do. She successfully did it every time. There were many conflicts. But one day I couldn't bread properly. I don't know what's the word in english for difficult breathing.Maybe constriction. However this was the first issue. Then I went to the cardiogist, because my heartpulse was high and I started having heartbeating. One day I stopped the medication that I was taking. It was very sample medication,nothing special. The doctor said everything is fine. But my conflicts with my mother continued and I started having tics. I want to say that ,before I started having tics I have done some movements like tics on purpose as a joke with a friend. I don't know ,if this have any impact for forming or having tics. However, I just continuesly repeated the negative things she has been telling me or the things she has been doing. And I wasn't going well. I started having tics. I went to psychiatrist. He prescribed me Lamictal. I started feeling very good. But the worrying didn't stop. I just didn't want to forget the bad things she has done to me, so I just kept repeating them in my mind. I was diagnosed with mixed anxiety-depressive disorder. My question is what to do to stop my tics. They are not that bad, but it'not comfortable. I have so much anger to this person and she knows how to trigger me emotionally very well. I often think that I am like a slave ,when she triggers me. Dr Marks, I have this anger towards that person and maybe I can't process my emotions. When I have a thought about her and some past conflict, I start making tics. Do you think that these conflicts with her are the reason to emotionally trigger me. I think yes, but I wanted to ask you. You are very intelligent. Dr Tracey Marks, could tell me what to do ,so that I stop doing tics and get triggered hard emotionally. What should I do.She is very emotional.

Hello Dr. Tracey, it's Andrew, and I have an ABI I've had a lot of trouble controlling muscle spasms, and I got to the point where I either wear diapers , or never go out. I took baclophen for year, and eventually decided that it was time to stop taking it. That's because the spasms in my arm and leg had subsided to a level I could control with weighbearing and exercise control of my other bodily functions required mindfulness, and planning. Having worked on habitual patterns (breaking them down) and mindfulness, paired with problem solving (i e. which mobility device (wheelchair, cane, cane type) route planning, time management etc. and now I looking at upper story type decisions.

Good afternoon Dr. Tracy. Your videos have been very fascinating. I was wondering if you can do a video talking about different types of anger and how to help someone who gets angry easily and doesn’t quite know how to control it. Because I’m a dance instructor and I teach a class of adults with special needs and I have one student in my class who gets angry easily when I try to guide him in the right direction. And it makes me very anxious. So if you can touch on that when you do another video that would be very helpful. Thank you very much. 6:12 6:15 6:21 6:29 6:38 6:43
