Dear Prash:

The neuropathways that are there, they don’t get changed. What happens is that new neuropathways are created as we learn and heal. As we… sort of grow more and more neuropathways as we proceed in the process  of healing and learning, these new pathways, over time, change the neuro-mapping of the brain.

(I just made up the term neuro-mapping).

It already happened that members attacked me aggressively here on the Forums. I felt the fear and asserted myself every single time. Over time, following many successful assertions,  my confidence grew. I feel now that I can take care of myself if attacked. Yet I feel the fear nonetheless.
