NEUROPLASTICITY
AND NEUROGENESIS

These recent studies have shown that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can induce neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in the brain.  Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change and adapt, while neurogenesis refers to the growth of new neurons in the brain.  These processes can lead to significant changes in brain structure and function, which may explain the therapeutic benefits of these treatments.

There are studies with these medicines to see how they can treat neurologic disorders such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson’s and others.

14.8M

14.8 million U.S. adults aged 18+ had at least one major depressive episode with severe impairment in the last year.

8M

30%

30% is the increase in the rate of death by suicide in the U.S. between 2000 and 2016 and the rates keep going up.

75%

Nearly 75% of drug overdose deaths in 2020 involved an opioid.

How does it work?

These medicines work in a variety of ways in the brain, but generally speaking, they dampen the default mode network, (DMN); the chitter-chatter of the brain, the critical voice, the ego, the defense mechanisms and sets them in the background.

They quiet the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for fight, flight, freeze, faint and emotions such as anger and fear, which are more surface-available in people with trauma and PTSD.

These medicines stop the ruminating tendencies of the looping of negative thoughts which is more active in depressed individuals.  It allows the individual to create new routes in the brain with healthier thoughts and beliefs.

These actions result in a person feeling safe to explore traumas, feelings, emotions and beliefs that were too scary or taboo to explore, which left them unprocessed and undigested. Processing these feelings in a new way allows the individual to integrate them in a healthy manner.

These medicines allow the pre-frontal cortex to light up, allowing for many  more connections within the brain, and coupled with integrative psychotherapy, the process allows the individual to see events or people from different angles and understandings, resulting in new insights that promote healing.

Specific psychedelic medicines known as entheogens or entactogens promote self-love and compassion that contribute to a person’s healing along with psychedelic integration psychotherapy.

Their effects from books, lectures, and docu series turned out to be totally accurate. Yet, no amount of academic learning can prepare you for the truly  mystical experience of discovering who you are.  Seeing is believing. When your whole life is laid in front of you, there is so much meaning to be found.  I watched people seemingly heal from deep traumas overnight.

Christine is an angel to me! God put in her heart, the unselfish desire to help people and the knowledge and ability to heal. She helped me lose weight I had been trying to lose for years and she helped me get my hormones under control. What a blessing!

I’m sorry I gave you such a hard time when I first started seeing you. I had no energy, no excitement about life and I really didn’t see how what I ate could affect the way I felt. I couldn’t imagine not eating bread and wheat products or cutting back on sugar, especially on my beer that I love so much. But you were so patient, showing me how those food items caused sensitivities in me that greatly affected my health. My blood tests are all within normal ranges now and my doctor has asked me what I am doing differently. My business has gotten better than ever and I’m making more money! Thank you for giving me a new lease on life!

I can’t believe greater harmony was at my reach with my husband. I don’t think all our snags will go away, but I can truly say your 2 sessions (especially the second one about my health) opened my eyes to how I was taking care of myself (or not). I am happy to report that both our stress levels are way below what they were before thanks to the techniques you showed me. Thanks Christine for that!

“I recently moved here from Colorado and had been working with a biofield tuning practitioner there. I was thrilled when I found Christine here in Brownsville. I began working with Christine and from the very first session, I could tell this was something different than even what I had experienced in Colorado! There was much more energy moving through my body! There were big swells of energy from past trauma that just seemed to fall off me in chunks. After each session, I would feel depleted but lighter. I am so excited to continue my sessions with you!”

It’s so interesting what can happen when you surrender all of the attempts to micromanage every life decision and just get out of the way. That’s exactly how I found Christine. I am a seeker, and when I started living my true nature AS a seeker, I found. I prayed, “God, transform me when the time is right” and I let Him/Her/It do the rest. And the transformation continues…

If you’ve stumbled upon this review, maybe the time is right for you or will be in the near future. All I can say is that if you’re looking to raise your vibrational state to the next level and start living life again; if you’re tired of the pain, the depression, the anxiety, the addictions that have been crippling you, just reach out and see what happens. You have nothing else to lose. There is a different path out there, but it will take work. Christine knows what she’s doing and I don’t think you’ll find a more trustworthy companion to guide you on your journey back to health and happiness. She somehow manages to de-center her ego from the experience and allows the Source, the medicine, to do its work. If you’re anything like me, you may just find some lifelong friends in the process.

Best $400 I’ve ever had to part ways with…hands down!

The organizers followed up with me throughout the week following to ensure I was settling in well and knew I was cared for.

Thank you to all of the organizers. You didn’t save my life – you saved my SOUL!
