MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT
Regaining Focus
In the West, modern life has become increasingly complex and reactive in the digital era. Our autonomic nervous systems are having to cope with multiple demands to respond to stimuli whether desired or not, and this over-stimulation can lead to become habituated to a state of heightened activity.
Research has identified multiple negative effects to this over exposure which include impairment in focussing, short attention span, poor memory and emotional upset from unfulfilled gratification.
Once habituated it is common to seek further stimulation, in itself an addictive process.
The detrimental effects associated with ‘on-line brain’, are increasingly mirroring symptoms of an autistic nature. In my work post Covid I've clearly seen the deep need for peace and the yearning to settle and regain focus.
An empathic place of refuge is a central feature of the therapeutic endeavour.
