13. Besides extreme rage, my child struggles with learning disabilities and has trouble getting along with friends. Can your therapy help with these or other problems as well? PDF Print E-mail
Fear is the primary emotion. What we mistake as rage or anger is in fact at the root only fear. Nevertheless, for this question I will refer you back to the treatment protocol where I talk about the orbitofrontal cortex. This is the center of our learning and emotional-social development. This center is also highly affected by stress, so certainly when the stress is brought within regulation, all of the other areas will begin to improve. I believe that it is a developmentally corrective approach for children, and even for adults in some cases, if they remain open to the work. Primarily, because it addresses stress directly, the orbitofrontal cortex is most affected by stress. The orbitofrontal cortex is also the one area of the brain that remains open to change throughout the life span. Now that’s exciting!
