Is Your Brain Stuck in a Chronic Fight, Flight, or Freeze Response?

Dynamic neural re-training system - to rewire neural pathway

Is your brain stuck?

Amygdala - brain's fear center

Hippocampus - involved with your memories. store memories of your traumas for future protection

Hypothalamus - chemist - hormone - get ready for flight or fleet

cingulate cortex - focus on the thread until it is resolved


usually is a combination of these stresses that tip the amygdala & limbic system.

when a limbic system is injuries =

Neurons that fire together wires together - any time that neurons fire together, the speed of transmission gets faster as time goes. The actual neural; network starts to change.





Do you start to retract from the world? Avoidance behavior.

need motivation to maintain practice for at least 6 month on  a daily basis

Online DVD and book, with the community forum

Also have training for certified coaches - who had suffer the issues.

Write down any thoughts, emotional POPs that may cause the flight, fight, freeze.  Are these thoughts healthy?  into a state of growth and repair

Need to cultivate gratitude compassion

There is a true limitation in talking 

but, you need the tool to switch the state the limbic retraining does that.

Don't need to practice after 6 months daily, but still 

do things mindfully, exercise, and do positive visualization occasionally

some people continue the practice because they feel good with themselves after the practice.

14 hours of recorded material (of the program) contains the science,

two programs she taught (with a group of people).

DNS 2.0 - 14 chapters on how to get most of the practice, look for blind spots




Anxiety, chemical sensitivities, exhaustion, and chronic pain syndromes were on the rise before the coronavirus pandemic, but the effects of COVID-19 have led to health challenges beyond the virus itself—leaving many people in a chronic fight, flight, or freeze stress state. When the brain is stuck in this state, we find ourselves looping in the same self-protective thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—creating the very patterns that reinforce the state itself. Join Annie Hopper, founder of the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, as she shares practical information about this self-directed, neuroplasticity-based program to help you get unstuck and improve your health.

Session Highlights:

  • The role of the limbic system in the fight, flight, or freeze response
  • How the Dynamic Neural Retraining System can help you to get “unstuck”
  • How to identify and stop unwanted thoughts, emotions, and behaviors associated with a chronic fight, flight, or freeze response

Founder of the Dynamic Neural Retraining System™

Annie Hopper is a limbic system rehabilitation specialist with a global mission: to take the “mystery” out of “mysterious illness.” Hopper empowers people with the tools that they need to rewire their brains, transform their health, and reclaim their lives. In 2008, after recovering from debilitating chronic illness, Hopper founded the Dynamic Neural Retraining System—a drug-free, neuroplasticity-based approach to rewire neural pathways in the brain that are associated with a maladapted stress response. The program assists in decreasing symptoms associated with many illnesses such as anxiety, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, food sensitivities, Lyme disease, and many other chronic conditions. She has lectured throughout North America and abroad, educating both patients and doctors alike about the connection between environmental toxins, brain trauma, physical health, and self-directed neuroplasticity. Speaking engagements include the Parliament House, Helsinki, Finland; the Brain Injury Association of Canada; the American Academy of Environmental Medicine; the Institute for Functional Medicine; the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association; McMaster University Teaching Hospital; the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health; the Academy of Comprehensive Medicine; the Autism Education Summit; the Forum for Integrative Medicine; and the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illnesses.

Reliving history in London

Image
We had a great day in London. There is so much, so much history to touch and to feel in London. We pretty much spent our entire day in the Parliament area. We first took a guided tour in the Westminister Abbey. It is a beautiful abbey, and it was such an experience at present with all the great people, kings and queens, who we read about... Now, we can actually touched their tombs, or walk on their burial ground. You felt so much connected to these very special historical figures, felt so much being part of history, and a living history rather than one you read from the books. It was such an experience. After the memorable Westminister Abbey visit, we went across the street, and queued up for a tour at House of Commons. We waited in line for an hour and a half, then waited inside for another hour. Lo did not wear enough clothes. He was freezing waiting in the line. It was a long wait. But, it was really worthwhile. After a sitting at the House of Commons, we sat at the...

Mindfulness of Breathing

16 stages/ approaches to mindful breathing  https://www.mindfulnessbell.org/archive/tag/16+exercises+for+mindful+breathing Day 1 Basics of mindfulness meditation. breathing is one of the core practices of Buddhist meditation practice. Two ways street - as the world around us changes (mood, intention, mind), our breathing changes, as breathing changes, our relationship to the world changes.  As we got trapped in our thoughts, our breathing changes.  As we relax our body, our breathing changes. Breathing sitting in the crossroad of all aspects of our life.  Fight/flight mode, breathing changes. When we change our breathing and relax, fight/flight response changes. Sitting there in breathing and watches the world goes on. Easy breath - be in touch with the breathing.  how your breathing changes is related to how your mood/ mind is changing. Area of control - the front part of the body.  focus on the back of the body is easier. not to be concern of a controlled...

Tea meditation - Plum Village

Image
  This cup of tea in my two hands,  mindfulness is held perfectly.          My mind and body dwell in the very here and now.  Wherever you are drinking your tea, whether at work or in a café or at home, it is wonderful to allow enough time to appreciate it. If the weather is cold, you can feel the warmth of the cup in your hands. Breathe in and recite the first line; breathe out and recite the second. The next inhalation is for the third line, and the next exhalation is for the fourth line. Breathing mindfully in this way, we recuperate ourselves and the cup of tea reclaims its highest place. If we’re not mindful, it’s not tea that we’re drinking but our own illusions and afflictions. If the tea becomes real, we become real. When we are able to truly meet the tea, at that very moment we are truly alive. There is no way to home. Home is the way. There is no way to happiness Happiness is the way to us. A day to return to ourselves, to...
