Ep 20: Noticing our brain's confetti moments
Y'all, I did a thing: took my twins on vacation in Pacifica, stayed at a new house we've never stayed in, and I did it ALL BY MYSELF. Talk about a parenting milestone!
In addition to creating new neural pathways on our inaugural mommy vacation, I noticed old neural pathways. My brain was linking up associations with a relationship I had in Pacifica nearly 15 years ago, and it was giving it to me in pieces, just like someone throwing memory fragments of confetti.
These confetti moments gave me a palpable reminder of how our brain is always trying to give us what we need by rapidly linking up associations and bringing them to the front burner. And for that, I have a deep respect and appreciation for the brain.
By noticing myself noticing my process, it got me thinking about how doing EMDR as a client has literally changed my brain. And perhaps completing EMDR targets is not just about decreasing the target disturbance, but, more importantly, it's about changing the way the brain processes information forever. Is there anything more incredible than that?
