Blessed again by this Dr Leaf thank you!!! And I LOVE how you quickly threw in & explained how FORGIVENESS of the persons/ppl ect is a release of tht trama,pain, experiences..you HAVE TO FORGIVE in order to move on from tht trama..in order to release it, break FREE from it forever. Its more than forgiving yourself even though thts wise to do as well but The Word of God says you HAVE TO FORGIVE so that our sins may be forgiven. So thank you Dr Leaf for allowing the Holy Spirit of God to slide tht VERREYYYY important FACT in! Tht to me was amazing

I have used the hand buzzers, and lights headset with audio before, and they work incredibly well. My car crash caused lots of broken bones, and bleeding out, and the EMDR caused a burning in my nose, and the smell of the field I landed in. It was very traumatic, but it also helped me get through it. My therapist pushed me to continue, then calmed me down...

Dr Caroline. I'm a Vision Therapist. I use so many of your understanding to help my patients to create a new brain pathway to process binocular vision more effectively. I am finding more and more patients with traumatic brain injury, TBI, because of concussion. It has such a massive effect on how they process vision. Do you have any information to help me work with these special patients.

[@dementiacare.7177]

While this is very helpful and valuable information, from a Christian perspective (as Dr Leaf claims to be Christian), I must point out that scripture clearly says we are not born "good people" We were created in the image of God to be good and liek Him, but the first man sinned, thus we all inherited sin and a predisposition to sin. We were all born with a sinful nature. However, we should look to the good news: because of God's love for us demonstrated through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ, He brought us the gift of redemption and restoration, and through believing in Him and what He did for us to be "saved", we have the gift of being born again. It is at that point we receive a new birth and receive the righteousness of God through Christ credited to our account. We are born out of the eternal guilt of our sinful nature and born into the new nature of Christ through His grace. This doesn't mean there's always a noticeable difference right away or even for a while, but it means our position before God as a human changes from being guilty of sin to being forgiven and seen as redeemed by God. We were born into sin, but through Christ we are born into grace, mercy, and restoration to God's originial purpose in creating us, in light of our redemption. That is where this mind-work comes into play. We can rewire our mind for truth, specifically for the truth found in Christ's sacrifice for us, redeeming us by grace through faith in Him. I can understand Dr Leaf's approach needing to appeal universally to all people, but the thing is we cannot mix worldly doctrine with spiritual. When you tell someone they were born as a good person and try to wire that into their mind, it can prevent then from receiving this gift of salvatiom because to do so you must realize you're a sinner in need of salvation.

It talks about being born into sin the world is what the bible talks about. Not necessarily the person is this horrible being because they are sinning or something. Just wanted throw it out there... She was making it sound like the belief in the bible is bad. Read.
