Neuroplasticity Dr Courtney Dookie

This book discusses the utilization of biblical contemplative practice in facilitating neuroplasticity in adults who experience psychological disorders. It examines psychological disorder from four perspectives, these are: spiritual faculty, physiological faculty, psychological faculty, and relational faculty. These four faculties are the foundation of the mind. Having chaos or rigidity in any one faculty will lead to disintegration in the central nervous system, which inevitably leads to mental distress. This book demonstrates from scientific research how to use prayer and Biblical meditation to heal the brain from psychological distress, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and addictions. In addition, the following areas are covered in the book: "The mind: God's design", "parent-child relationship and its impact on brain development", "insecure attachment and how it affects the brain", and "God, attachment and the brain". It looks at how God changes the brain through the process of neuroplasticity.
