How the brain works

billions of neurons (tiny nerv cells) computing power cpu
communicate via electical pulse
release chemical signals (neurotransmitters)
neurotransmitters float in synapse

cortex = surface of brainsubcortacal = evilution

nuero cirits = network on connect regions via neurons

neurotransmitter system

serotonin – improves will power, motivation, mood
norepinephrine – enhances thinking, focus, dealing with stress
dopamine – increase enjoyment
oxytocin – promotes feelings of trust, love, connection, reduce anxiety
goba increase felling of relaxation
melatonin – increase quality of sleep
endorphins – provides pain relief, feelings of enerlations
endocannabinoids – improve apatite, peace fullness and well being

frontal limp system: thinking

prefrontal cortex = front 1/3
ceo: planning, decission, impluse, modivation
-worry – guilt – shame

2 axles
dorso – top – thinking
ventral – bottom – emotional

midial – middle – self focused
lateral – side – outside world focused

Limpics system: feeling

exsitment, fear, exsizty, memory, desire

4 regions
hypertalamus – controls stress
amigdala – key 2 reduce fear agziaty neg emotional
hypocampus – longterm memories
sigalat cortex – focus & attention

Sonus – Sound

Online Tone Generator – 432Hz Frequency Generator

DAW Every Music Producer Loves – FL Studio

Pitch – particular frequency 432Hz/440Hz
Subjective:

Tone – Acoustic – regularity of vibration

Standard 12-tone scale

Frequency – of musical notes (rate of oscillatory & vibratory phenomena)
Objective:
frequency is a number of occurrences, of a repeated event, per unit of time

Hertz is a International Standard (SI) unit for frequency

Verdi's A

Others believe that the correct middle “A” is 432 Hz (also known as Verdi’s A) because it has “a pure tone of math fundamental to nature” and is “mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe, vibrating with Phi, the Golden Ratio.

Furthermore, 432 Hz resonates with 8 Hz (the Schumann Resonance), the documented fundamental electromagnetic “beat” of Earth.

The great 440 Hz conspiracy, and why all of our music is wrong: Alan Cross

Grounding

dr william amalu grounding vagal tone – Vagal tone refers to activity of the vagus nerve, the 10th cranial nerve and a fundamental component of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. This branch of the nervous system is not under conscious control and is largely responsible for the regulation of several body compartments at rest. electrical ground improves vagal tone Electrical Grounding Improves Vagal Tone in Preterm Infants

Dialectical Behavior Therapy – DBT

The following is a dyslexic understanding of the DBT Deck. The DBT Deck was created by Lane Pederson, PsyD, LP, DBTC in 2019 and is based on 3 seminal BPD research pages, (Linehan, 1993, Pederson, 2012, & Moonshie, 2008). If you are interested in purchasing your own DBT Desk, go here.

don't judge yourself

5 Areas of DBT

  • Dialectics
  • Mindfulness
  • Distress Tolerance
  • Emotion Regulation
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness

Practice

  1. diary card
  2. schedule skill use
  3. reward yourself
  4. discover your motivation
  5. “crowd out” problem behaviors
  6. stick with it!

What are Dialectics?

dialectics relate to the synthesis of opposites.

shads of gray

  1. compassionate
  2. determined | resolute

 Encouragement – affirming self-talk (morning vibrations)

 

Practice: Self-Soothe

  • Vision
  • Hearing
  • Smell

Neurology 101

how the brain works

  • 86 billion neurons (tiny nerve cells) computing power
  • communicate via electrical pules
  • electrochemical process
  • release chemical signal (neuro transmitter)
  • neurotransmitter float in synapse

cortex = surface of brain
subcortacal + evolution

neural circuits = network of connect regions via neurons

Neurotransmitter System

norepinephrine – enhances thinking, focus, dealing with stress

dopamine – increase enjoyment (poppy)

oxytocin = promotes feelings of trust, love, connection, reduce anxiety

gaba – increase feeling of relaxation

melatonin – increase quality of sleep

end – provides pain relief, feelings of enerlations

Frontal Limbic System

prefrontal cortex = front 1/3
ceo: planning, decision, impulse, & motivation
worry – guilt – shame

ventral – emotion
dorso – thinking

medial – self focused
lateral – outside world focused

top side vs. bottom middle

top middle
top side
bottom middle
bottom side

DL-PFC is not an anatomical structure, but rather a functional one

Limbic System: emotion

excitement, fear, anxiety, memory, desire

4 regions

  • hypothalamus – controls stress
  • amygdala – key 2 reduce fear – anxiety, negative emotion
  • hippocampus – long-term memories
  • insular cortex – focus & attention

 

dorsal striatum- Part of: Basal ganglia, Reward system

Amygdala

  • almond
  • nuclei
  • cerebrum
  • deals w/now
  • move forward
