DP Triggers: Pulling the Plug on Mind Chatter

Written by Ronnie Freedman, Ph.D.

What we think, we become.
Buddha

Thoughts change the chemistry of the body.

Negative thinking, or “mind chatter” is much more exaggerated for those struggling with anxiety and depersonalization. It’s as if someone has turned up the volume on this negative way of thinking. The internal chatter if unrecognized, can often become a constant companion. It is easily described as the voice of doubt or to go one step further, the internal voice of fear.

It’s usually loudest when one is fueling it. It thrives on sugar, caffeine, nicotine and other stimulants. Eating a diet that is high in carbohydrates will also fuel the chatter. This is why balance is essential. Learning to balance good carbohydrates, with lean protein and good fats keeps the chatter down and the body less reactive. This is a fact.

This way of eating also maintains strong serotonin levels, not requiring the use of medications to hold serotonin in the brain. If your diet replenishes serotonin on a daily basis, there is no need to hold it there through the use of chemicals. Every single day it is being manufactured by the brain when one follows our food plan, and this increases one’s sense of well being within a 24 hour time span.

Brain chatter ads to feelings of brain fog, IBS symptoms and anxiety reactions in general. It triggers body reactions. It changes body hormones.

Natural serotonin production eliminates these reactions. It clears the brain fog, heals IBS symptoms, and dampens symptoms of anxiety. Our food plan takes what you already have in your kitchen and demonstrates how to use it properly. Protein and carbohydrate correction is one of the great mood changing plans and is simple to use. The results can be astounding.

What one may believe is a “healthy diet” is not always healthy for anxiety, IBS, Brain fog or depersonalization. Food is medicine. Learning to use this food plan will ensure a breakthrough as it repairs a mind and body overtaxed with stress. Further use, along with the proper behavioral skills will aid in the total elimination of intrusive symptoms.
