THE MIND, OUR THOUGHTS AND THE AWARENESS OF SELF
THE POWER OF THE MIND & THOUGHTS The Mind is a set of cognitive functions that include our intelligence, imagination (creativity), perception, thoughts (convergent and divergent), judgement, language and memory. It is commonly referred to as our CONSCIOUSNESS. It is responsible for processing our thoughts, ideas, values, beliefs, feelings and emotions and these attributes unite to form our behavior and attitudes and they determine our actions.
ANATOMY OF THE SELF - [Part 1] - [Part 2] - [Glossary] The self is composed of self-identity, motivation, cognition, and affect. Within these qualities are the 4 parts that compose our INTEGRITY - they are self-awareness, self-esteem, self-knowledge, and self-perception.
COMPLEXITY OF HUMAN EMOTION - Emotion is a mental state associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure.
DIVERGENT THOUGHT: Chaos can be known as divergent thinking which is the process or method used to generate creative ideas by freedom of imaginative exploration.

UNRAVELING THE ADHD MIND - An examination of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and how cognitive training, Mindfulness, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and amphetamine based stimulant medication (targeting levels of the neurotransmitters Dopamine and Norepinephrine) can impact plasticity (structural brain changes). I review my own personal journey with ADHD and the strides I have made in managing symptoms through these treatment methods. Please note ADHD is for life - it cannot (at this time) be cured.

HEALING THE PTSD MIND- an examination of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and how neuroplasticity can be triggered in the structure, grey matter and neurotransmitters of a trauma affected brain. Studies have recently proven the occurrence of plasticity in brain scans of PTSD affected combat war veterans being treated with CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) affecting the neurotransmitter Serotonin, and with daily Mindfulness meditation.

NEEDED: If you have ADHD or PTSD and would be willing to talk with me about your own journey for inclusion in the case study section of my book please contact me. We can help each other! Your anonymity is guaranteed and you will receive a copy of the book. I will also be examining the possibilities of this treatment on Anxiety and Depression so if you suffer from either one of these disorders please contact me.
