An individual's brain might bear the marks of a traumatic event for the rest of their life. The amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex are all parts of a complicated brain network that stores these impressions, which are commonly known as traumatic memories. When it comes to emotional memory, the amygdala is especially important since it gives experiences their emotional weight. The amygdala triggers a powerful emotional reaction when a traumatic event occurs, leading to the formation of a vivid and emotionally charged memory.
The Trauma-Induced Synaptic Prison
In the aftermath of a stressful incident, the brain releases the stress chemicals adrenaline and cortisol as part of its stress response system. In the amygdala in particular, these chemicals improve memory consolidation. Here, long-term potentiation (LTP) plays a role in fortifying neuronal connections. The mechanism of long-term potentiation (LTP) strengthens synaptic connections between neurones, leading to more effective signal transmission. The phosphorylation of AMPA receptors, glutamate receptors essential for excitatory synaptic transmission, results in this enhanced synaptic strength.
One of the most important proteins for long-term potentiation (LTP) and synaptic integrity is PKMzeta. The traumatic memory stays firmly anchored because PKMzeta blocks the synapse's ability to remove AMPA receptors. Another factor that has recently come to light is the function of ZIF268 (or Zibra) in promoting synaptic plasticity that is dependent on PKMzeta. An important transcription factor involved in synaptic plasticity is ZIF268, which regulates the expression of related genes. Some of these genes encode proteins that help AMPA receptors move and bind to other molecules. Traumatic memories tend to stick around for a long time because ZIF268 helps maintain PKMzeta.
On top of that, heightened gamma-band (30-100 Hz) oscillations in the brain usually accompany painful memories. Researchers believe that this high-frequency oscillation aids in consolidating and retrieving memories. Enhanced gamma-band activity may amplify the invasive and upsetting character of traumatic memories in the aftermath of trauma.
The Healing Potential of Havening: Havening induces a physiological condition that dephosphorylates AMPA receptors. Dephosphorylation weakens the synaptic connection and the power of the traumatic memory by lowering the number of functioning AMPA receptors at the synapse. Havening inhibits a protein necessary for the maintenance of synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation (LTP).
Havening undermines the synaptic connections that sustain the painful memory by decreasing PKMzeta activation. Havening reduces ZIF268 expression, which in turn reduces the strength of the synaptic connections that sustain the memory of the trauma. By reducing the level of gamma-band activity associated with traumatic memories, Havening lessens their emotional impact.
One must first achieve a deep level of relaxation in order to generate Delta brainwaves, which are indicative of Delta wave activity. Delta waves accompany both deep relaxation and deep sleep. Havening goes a step further in calming the nervous system and speeding healing by triggering Delta wave activity.
Reconsolidate Traumatic Memories: Havening can help with this process. To make changes or updates to memories, consolidation destabilises them. Havening facilitates the less uncomfortable reconsolidation of traumatic memories by producing a state of calm and concentrated attention.
Support Optimal Neurotransmitter Levels: Havening has the potential to improve the levels of neurotransmitters including serotonin, oxytocin, and GABA, which have a role in regulating stress, mood, and emotional health.
A Breakthrough in Trauma Treatment
When it comes to trauma treatment, Havening techniques are a huge step forward. Havening is a potent tool for healing and recovery because it targets the neurological pathways that underlie traumatic memories. Unlike typical therapy, which focuses on coping mechanisms, Havening delves into the root causes of trauma. This helps people to overcome their trauma and find peace in their lives.
