CHAPTER 10 - Primary Activation

This chapter describes the experience of activation as it relates to brain function. It provides a list of experiences frequently reported by clients that are associated with activation. Here I introduce the most challenging principle of I-brainmap; that we are not trying to stop activation, but to change our relationship with it. Activation is the brain-body attempting to integrate an overwhelming experience or memory, and trying to stop it gives the brain the message that it is still a potential threat.
