| It works as well as it does because it uses the Limbic System - a key neurological system in the brain which has the job of mediating psychological states. The Limbic System however has one major failing - it can't tell the difference between imaginary experiences and real ones! So often people become genuinely happy or sad or enthused or despondent according to what they think about, regardless of their actual circumstances. What this allows of course is the changing of a particular state or feeling once you have more control over this part of the brain. Interestingly it's not so much the contents of thinking which determine how you feel but the way in which your brain codes the experience. The Universal Debriefing System trains you to store and remember negative experiences as learning and information rather than feeling. Then you can also use it to enhance experiences - make them more emotionally meaningful! This can be useful for tackling daily tasks as well as things like crises, job interviews, relationships etc. You can even make the washing-up satisfying (as some already do naturally). |
