Good morning,

Neuropsychotherapy is a multidisciplinary approach. It is based on the concept of neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to change its structure and function through repeated experience. The fundamental principle rests on the idea that today's problems are the consequence of learning that has not occurred, or not sufficiently occurred. Healing from psychological suffering will therefore involve learning, thanks to the neuroplasticity that will be mobilized during therapy. For example, if you arrive at the elevator the day after a news report about an elevator accident in another building, the thought crosses your mind that perhaps the elevator you are about to take will have an accident. You are afraid and decide to take the stairs. You have just activated a set of neural connections that avoid the elevator, driven by fear. If this scenario is repeated, these connections will become so strong that you will develop a phobia of elevators. Treating your elevator phobia with a neuropsychotherapist will target the undoing of these connections. They will expose you to the experience of taking an elevator, despite your fear (they may accompany you initially to reassure you). Each time you emerge unscathed from the elevator, your brain integrates the idea that "taking the elevator is not dangerous," and new connections are established in your brain, replacing the previous, dysfunctional ones. The human brain possesses great plasticity, meaning that the connections between our neurons can be strengthened, weakened, or altered. Neuropsychotherapy works by activating neuronal plasticity to reshape your brain connections. It takes into account several factors, including: - the patient's brain (examination of the brain's physical and chemical structure and function) - the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the patient (fostering a positive and meaningful relationship) - the integration of the patient's left and right cerebral hemispheres (connecting body and mind, consciousness and mindfulness to promote healthy processing of sensory information) - the patient's emotional state (focusing primarily on improving their resilience, which involves working on aspects such as interpersonal relationships, emotional intelligence, cognition, physical health, temperament, and attachments).
