Dear RR:

Is this idea of disconnecting and reconnecting brain cells new to you? If so, this very idea is a new brain connection you just made. Whenever you learn something new you form a new brain connection. When you learn a simple fact like that this country has so many people as its population size, that is a simple brain connection and often a connection that doesn’t hold for long as you forget it. To learn something new like: I am a worthy person- this is not a simple connection to make. You think it: I am worthy, and feel nothing much. This means you made a simple connection but there already are so many established connections in your brain stating the opposite, that the sentence: I am worthy- does not feel like anything much.

If over time you say I am Worthy and you feel something significant, and it feels like you believe it for the moment, that means there is more than one connection made and it means some of the old connections stating the opposite have been weakened.

Good psychotherapy will help a lot in this process: cognitive therapy (CBT) combined with Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a skill to develop over time where you pay attention, you notice things that you didn’t notice before.

Please do post again…
