Attention: Psychologists, psychotherapists, Counselors, Well-being Practitioners, Therapists, Clinicians and Coaches - There's an exciting revolution in brain-sciences that is accelerating your ability to help people recover their well-being.
"Predictive coding" shines a new light on how the brain makes emotions, fears, trauma, stress, anxiety, fears, ill-health and pain that revolutionises your way of making a difference in the lives of others ....
Turning psychology on its head...
"What we call mental illness may then be rational "body-budgeting" (allostasis) for the short term that may be out of sync with the immediate environment, needs of other people or your own best interests"
"The (predictive) brain gives us an avenue to understanding psychiatric conditions in terms of an altered perception of the "Self" ... leading to interesting angles on viewing (and addressing) mental illness"
" ...Exciting new theories that reveal minds like ours to be prediction machines - devices that have evolved to anticipate the incoming streams of sensory stimulation before they arrive. These predictions then initiate actions that structure our worlds and alter the very things we need to engage and predict "
How are these all connected ?
For thousands of years people have tried to explain seemingly "irrational", unhealthy or self-destructive acts by invoking things like egos and ids, lizard brains and limbic systems, desires and reason... but now the promising Predictive Processing Framework not only simplifies the explanations, it looks promising at uniting them and points the way to resolving these issues at the deepest levels in the brain.
