🚨 New Hope for PTSD Treatment! 🚨
Struggling with PTSD? There's promising news! Exercise has been shown to play a crucial role in healing trauma. Engaging in physical activities like yoga, aerobic exercises, and resistance training can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms. How does it work? Exercise rewires the brain, positively influencing the body's stress response. It’s not just a distraction but a vital tool that can lead to profound changes in mental health.
Studies have shown that exercise increases neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt and change. This helps in forming new, healthier neural connections that combat the negative impact of PTSD. Additionally, regular physical activity helps to regulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators. These chemical changes in the brain help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance overall cognitive function.
Moreover, exercise serves as a form of exposure therapy. By pushing physical limits in a controlled, safe environment, individuals can confront and overcome their fears and anxieties. This gradual exposure helps diminish the power of PTSD triggers over time.
Beyond the physical and psychological benefits, exercise provides a sense of routine and purpose. It can be a grounding activity that offers structure in the chaotic landscape of PTSD. The social aspect of group exercises or sports also fosters a sense of community and support, which is essential for recovery.
Accessible, cost-effective, and with no negative side effects, exercise is a powerful complement to traditional PTSD treatments. Whether it’s through running, weightlifting, or joining a yoga class, getting active can be a transformative part of healing from trauma.
Start your journey to recovery today by incorporating exercise into your routine. 🌟💪🧠✨

❗️ Genetic engineering and calcium imaging have allowed scientists discover the pattern of neuronal connections, however the grand complexity of the human mind requires many more tools that we still do not have. Note this video is 11 years old. A lot of advancements have been made since then.
❗️AI seems to be promising.

❗️Is it our genes that controls us or the environment? Do we posses a set of innate knowledge that needs to be activated or are we just empty canvases that take color as we pass every phase of life?

💡The "law of effect" and the "Overjustification effect":
📍The "Law of effect" takes place when a prize is attributed to an activity, causing someone to do the activity. It could be a good motivational tool, however it can back fire!
❌ It might cause the "Overjustification effect"! This happens when the prize for the activity is removed. The individual is not motivated to continue the activity anymore. The overjustification effect, simply put, is when one attributes the reason they are doing the activity to the prize and not to internal factors, such as personal enjoyment of the activity.
⭕️ So we must be careful when we motivate our children with prizes to make them do activities or homework!

📍How do humans perceive depth?
Humans are binocular beings, hence the utilization of both of their eyes help perceive depth, but this is not enough. Hence, they also use the mechanisms of detecting depth with monocular vision. These mechanisms include: 1) relative size of the object at hand (If an image contains an array of similar objects that differ in size, the viewer interprets the smaller object as being farther away. 2) Interposition; If one object is positioned so that it obstructs the view of the other, the viewer perceives the overlapping object as being nearer. 3) Relative height; Among similar objects, those that appear closer to the horizon are perceived as being farther away. 4) Perspective; When parallel lines in a scene appear to converge in the image, they are perceived as vanishing in the distance. 5) Shading and shadows. and 6) motion.

💡Main approaches of the individual perspective:
The individualistic perspective of psychology referees to the subject’s perception of reality, and what behaviour this perception elicits. We all have different views of reality, and how we come to see reality, decides what our behaviour will be like. The individualistic perspective of psychology takes three trends: (1) The experimental method; applying scientific method to behavior, (2) Psychoanalytical method; taking the unconscious into account and (3) Humanistic approach; taking into account the human aspects such as self-actualization and creativity.
The individualistic perspective is a merge between the behavioral, cognitive, psychoanalytical and humanistic perspectives. This is mainly because the behavioral perspective fails to take into account the cognitive processes that take place when an action triggers a response from a human. The psychoanalytical and humanistic aspects come into this merge, because we are species with unconsciousness and possess human qualities such as creativity and self-actualization.
