Brain Science - Story - Neuroplasticity

As we dig deeper in to personal growth through Story Exploration, we should look at some basics about the brain regarding trauma, harm and neglect. Definition of Trauma: a deeply distressing experience. The word itself has been associated with car wrecks, fires, death etc. This is a great travesty in the understanding of how events and even spoken words have significantly shaped our lives. As we get started, we have to understand a bit about "trauma" and it's impact on the brain and body function. Because of the accelerated development of a child's body and brain, childhood events are especially significant. There is a list of examples in the first video.
