Ready to Gently Rewire Your Response to Trauma?
If you’re seeking a gentle, effective path to healing, Limbic System Retraining at Arka Health empowers you to reshape your brain’s responses.
Gently Rewire Your Brain's Stress Response with Limbic System Retraining
Living with the echoes of trauma can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck on high alert, even when you know you’re safe. Healing is possible, and at Arka Health, we believe it can be gentle.
Why Does Trauma Have Such a Lasting Impact? Understanding Your Brain's Response
Traumatic experiences can disrupt your brain’s emotional control center, the limbic system.
The Amygdala
Your brain’s “threat detector,” triggering fight, flight, or freeze.
The Hippocampus
Your “memory organizer,” adding context and calming the stress response.
Trauma can overwhelm this system. The amygdala may become hyper-sensitive, keeping you on high alert. The hippocampus might struggle to store memories correctly, leading to fragmented, intrusive recollections. The prefrontal cortex, which usually helps regulate the amygdala, may have less influence. This is a biological adaptation, not a weakness. But living this way is exhausting. You might experience:
- Constant anxiety or feeling on edge.
- Being easily startled.
- Intrusive thoughts or memories.
- Difficulty sleeping.
- Feeling disconnected.
Rewiring for Resilience: The Power of Neuroplasticity
Your brain can change and adapt throughout life – this is neuroplasticity. Just as it learned protective patterns, it can learn new, calmer ones through gentle practice. Limbic System Retraining uses neuroplasticity to gently recalibrate your brain’s threat response. It’s about teaching your nervous system it’s safe to relax, not forcing confrontation with trauma.
Our program at Arka Health uses techniques like:
Mindfulness & Awareness
Noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Pattern Interruption
Gently stopping automatic stress reactions.
Somatic Awareness
Tuning into body sensations to release tension safely.
Visualization & Positive Emotion
Cultivating feelings of safety and calm.
Breathwork
Using simple breathing to calm your nervous system.
Self-Compassion
Developing kindness towards yourself.
