Study Notes
- The right and left hemispheres of the brain do not develop simultaneously.
- The right hemisphere is devoted to intuition and relationships and the left hemisphere is more about linear and cognitive thinking.
- During the first two years of life, the right hemisphere grows while the left side doesn't become active till around the age of 2.
- The right side is devoted to survival and the left side is more about emotion and cognition.
- When a client is activated they tend to speed up.
- One way to help a client become aware of what is happening is to feel their body.
- The key facts from the text above are that a client is activated and they can feel their body become activated.
- The goal of the therapist during activation is to help the client become aware of what is happening and to help them to slow down.
- The myofascial system is a network of interconnected fascia that support and protect the body's structures.
- The myofascial system is intimately connected to the nervous system, and can be affected by emotions.
- The myofascial system is a key part of the body's structural continuity, and is often used to restore function after injury.
- Manual therapy that includes the emotional sphere is often necessary to restore balance and function to the myofascial system.
- The energy of emotions has a magnetic charge, and can affect the body's structures if not released.
- The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes.
- The sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic response are two parts of the autonomic nervous system.
- The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the fight or flight response, which is a survival mechanism that can cause high levels of anxiety.
- Chronic stress has negative effects on the body, including high blood pressure, artery-clogging deposits, and changes in the brain.
- The parasympathetic nervous system can be activated to reduce anxiety and stress. This also lifts mood, strengthens the immune system, and reduces blood pressure.
