Neuropsychotherapy in post-traumatic stress disorder

Abstract

This research aims to shed light on the treatment of the most central aspect in the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, which is avoidance and numbness, and how neuropsychiatric treatment can override this aspect, although avoidance is not always negative, but it may lead to the loss of the emotional sense of cognitive and emotional tools in what scientifically is known as numbness and thus to long-term problems, so when a person with PTSD visits, his problems can be likened to intervening trauma as attempts to heal or escape painful memories of a traumatic event and avoid special experiences associated with trauma. The symptoms of PTSD have also been linked to memory deficits, therefore in recent years the researchers of this disorder showed a major focus on the study of memory problems among people with trauma, and the results of those studies attributed memory problems to a neurological biological defect resulting from the trauma, and this memory disorder may be an underlying pre-existing risk factor that causes the development of PTSD. The psychotherapists relying on the techniques of mindfulness followed the biological neurological aspect of the brain and changing the waves in it using the technique of neurofeedback, specifically on the alpha or theta waves, or both, as emotional issues and repressed memories are treated rather than being avoided. This appropriate psychological emptying does not reveal a new matter, but it is considered as an opportunity to facilitate insight, self-esteem, self- compassion and settings limits and limitations of feeling sin and guilt aside . When everything goes well, the patient will calm down and enter into deep parts of his life in the sense of the most dark and painful moments in his life.
