Executive Functioning – It is a “Brain Thing”
Executive Functioning
It won’t be long – well honestly – we already have research/evidence to prove that our brains – specific regions – function interactively & integratively to assign meaning & evaluation/significance (Inferior Frontal Gyrus) & (vmPFC – prefrontal cortex) to inhibit amygdalic responsing & assign Meaning to stimuli or our experiences in our lives.
Fact is: Clients can exercise better decision making (neuro-evaluation) & choose to respond more positively & in control (well-formedness) – seeing-hearing-feeling more neutrally if they so decide/choose to do so. This depends upon the client’s brain response/structure (“previous responding”) as it has “wired by firing” previously in certain ways.
Until the client succeeds at a newer & improved…
- more well-formed +Response – what they want/desire to experience
- within their control & initiated & maintained by them
- See-Hear-Feel it cleaner & clearly
- Ecological in all rapport system – all roles or relationships involved – husband/wife/mother/father/various roles we play in our lives…
- Measurable-testable-verifiable that they did get what they desired/outcomes (See-hear-feel that too & it looks like what you desired)…
Then they will have developed the needed feedback & subsequent brain-structure required to repeat this behavior/success in the future. (Fired à Wired)
Emotional regulation is not just a “mind thing”; we are not “head cases” when it comes to functioning in a dysregulated way – overly aroused (hyperarousal) or under-aroused (hypoarousal). This is entirely possible & within our abilities & skills – If we learned & we use them in the moment. Things don’t just happen unless they do – without a clear & clean & productive decision to take control of the situation (with our skills) or your emotions in them.
We must neurocise ourselves to produce the better result!
Plain & simple – if we don’t – we get what we create (as it should be)… hopefully people will “choose wisely” not poorly & get the skills they require to live the lives they desire.
What is the key you may ask?
Feedback (integration) – make use of negative feedback that reenters the person’s system – mental-emotional-neuro-behaviorally – to produce a definite & different response. Information is constantly being received – we need to interpret it positively as valuable to the system. Then we can integrate that information – to FORM a better response (PerFORMance) – instead of distorting or generalizing – taking things personally or relying on old & outdated ways of thinking-feeling-behaving.
So what?
This could (likely does) mean that dysfunction or “dysregulation” of “brain control systems” are responsible for what we call our “problems” or “mental health dis-orders”.
