Can you predict how close a rising tide will come to the shore? Can you tell from the movement of a feather flying in the air where the feather will fall or where a flowing river bed will bend?
There are many factors that affect where a flowing river bed will bend, some of which are wind, temperature, the shape of nature and the structure of the soil. . We cannot calculate this with the law of gravity or mathematics.
Everything in nature has a hidden order within complexity. When we examine a tree that appears to be irregular, we see that the protrusion, curve, shape and texture on it constantly repeat itself. The reason for this is that entities that seem complex are essentially symmetrical and orderly.
THE HUMAN BRAIN IS COMPLEX JUST LIKE NATURE
The human brain has an order within its complexity, just like the entities in nature. Our brain is always looking for a pattern. When it catches any pattern, it immediately connects it with millions of other patterns and creates what we call perception.
The human brain is formed between the ages of 0-6. Brain development begins in the womb and is fully established by the age of six. When the baby is born, he begins to perceive the world with his five senses. Sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. As visual experiences increase, visual memory forms, and as auditory experiences increase, auditory memory forms. It does this with five sense organs. For example, the first people the baby knows are his mother, father and sibling, but over time he begins to recognize other family members and react to them. Or, while the first voice he recognizes is his mother's voice, over time he begins to react to his father's voice. The more stimuli the baby is exposed to during this process, the faster the brain development occurs. The human brain learns through repetition.
When the child reaches the age of six, the pathways in his brain are outlined. The emotions he experiences during the process, the connections in his brain, and neuronal pathways form the outline of the pathways he will use throughout his life. The child has now learned how to love, how to talk, how to behave, how to get angry, how to be happy, how to be unhappy, in other words, what kind of person he is.
IS FATE? CHILDHOOD MEMORIES?
There are concepts such as fate, coincidence, necessity, randomness and chance that are embedded in our culture and ourselves. When we think about this with chaos theory, the situation does not seem like fate or luck. There is a hidden order behind many things that seem chaotic and fateful. The memories we experienced in childhood determine how we will behave today, in which direction our lives will evolve, what kind of person we will marry, what kind of life we will have.
COMPLETE TO REPEAT
Our brains need to constantly repeat the negative experiences it had in childhood. feels. In fact, experiences that seem like fate are just the brain trying to deal with past traumatic experiences that it could not handle by reliving them. When someone who was constantly treated as a bad kid throughout his childhood becomes an adult, he encourages people to treat him like a bad kid. Someone who is loved for his success in childhood becomes successful and loved for his success when he becomes an adult. Someone who was shy in childhood behaves in ways that embarrass himself and makes friends with cynical people. People who lose their parents in childhood have difficulties in their relationships with lovers, spouses and partners in adulthood and try to get the other to leave them.
HUMAN IS A PART OF NATURE
There are millions of cycles hidden in every corner of nature. The human body is also a part of nature. The curves of river beds are like the curves of the veins in the human body, so are the fringing, circular movements and protrusions in nature. The human body is a part of the whole in harmony with nature, a part of nature.
An interesting finding is found in EEG studies on the heart. Heart rhythm level is never the same as the other. In this way, the heart can adapt to changing conditions. The heart can withstand many things thanks to its chaotic work. Excitement, sadness and fear; each of these emotions causes some changes in the heart rhythm. Chaotic work of the heart increases its flexibility.
OUR BRAIN IS ALSO FLEXIBLE LIKE OUR HEART
The most important reason underlying the chaotic work of the heart is flexibility. This flexibility allows us to survive. The human brain is flexible, just like the heart. The most important task of our brain is to To keep us alive. Neurobiological research shows that the brain is chaotic, complex and disorganized. It has millions of functions such as memory records, memories, emotions, decision making, physical needs, moving the body. Although the regions where these records are located are known, we do not yet know exactly how the brain works.
The basic principle in the brain is; records are never stored in a single location. This means that the brain protects itself against any problems. Memory records are stored in many places and in many regions. Therefore, there is no change in therapy in a short time, the brain must constantly experience and process the newly learned information over and over again. The relationship established between the therapist and the client needs to be experienced many times.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THERAPY? WHAT IS PSYCHOTHERAPY?
The biggest contribution of the brain's flexibility to us is this; If we notice the constantly repeating cycle, it is possible to create a new cycle. What changes the human brain and enables us to create a new cycle is a healthy relationship with a healthy person. When a person is born, he learns how to talk, how to walk, how to love, how to feel safe, from his parents. When a person becomes an adult, the problems he experienced in childhood appear as mental distress, inner anxiety, depression, panic attack, obsession, personality disorder, anxiety, relationship problems. Establishing a healthy relationship and connection heals the person. In therapy, the client establishes a healthy relationship with the therapist. The healthy relationship he establishes changes the cycle of the troubled child underneath the adult identity. The client's compulsion to repeat decreases and passes over time. The client experiences new paths with the new relationship he establishes.
