Brain dead

Leave it to me to inappropriately take emotions out of life situations. In my profound shower-time thinking, I realized the whole concept of healing is psychological crap.  Face it, World. You all pay your psychiatrists a ton of money to deal with your past so that you can move on and let it go. It's a huge waste of money. Not to bash psychiatry! I rely on them a lot in my own field to take care of matters that I am not educated in regarding neurological function of the elderly...BUT....truth is that any thought, action, reaction, and emotion is a brain function. It is only the brain firing off in reaction to a situation it perceives in the environment.  That's all.  So when you lose that love, get all kinds of sad, tell people "I'm not ready to date.," and focus on "moving on"....really all that's happening is your brain used to fire in a certain way to make you happy, then unhappy, then it's retraining itself to the new environment (single life).  Eventually, as with all humans, you forget things. The brain naturally forgets as it ages.  Your brain adapts to a new environment and stops using all its energy to fire off sadness.  Now that yo head is in neutral, it can start rethinking that shiny, new and exciting energy it gives off with a new change in environment (new sweetie). Freud knew what he was talking about when it comes to conditioning the brain. You can train yourself (i.e. yo head) to react differently to situations that originally were negatives such as break up scenes and fights w/loved ones. Think about it.  


Damn I love shower-time thinking :)
