Comment on Does Stress Damage Your Brain? by Joseph

Hi, Mary-Rose,
Both acute and chronic stress can physically change your brain (it’s called evolutionary adaptation). Whether you’d call those changes “damage” might depend upon what specific behavioral results you experience. Fortunately, your brain is plastic – that is, it can change again and again. So, although PTSD can change your brain, you’re not stuck with the change – you can make subsequent adjustments using the proper therapy.

Best wishes on your report,
Joseph

Joseph….
This makes a lot of sense. In fact, when we write articles don’t the same factors play out? So, it’s not only for close relationships, but for communication in general.
I have a friend that begins most responses to anything I say with “You just don’t understand…”
Makes for a logjam in the conversing department.
Thanks, Claudia

I like this. Seems more fitting to “reframe” the reason for skipping out on work when it is afterall, enhancing one’s personal self.
Maybe it could help people open up the possibilty of actually enhancing, rather then “treating” by saying it to someone else… making it even that much more real for the individual seeking the help.
