The Power of Being Connected
Time for a hand-up, enjoying family, being loved and flying above the wilderness?
Today we often hear the words “stress” and “loss.” Although these words have different specific meanings, they do share
the same overall sense that our personal space is ”shrinking.” Surprisingly, if you accept that your territory is becoming
smaller, you’ll soon begin feeling the need to get busy — a feeling that can be calmed by “the power of being connected.”

smaller, you’ll soon begin feeling the need to get busy — a feeling that can be calmed by “the power of being connected.”
Today’s fast-paced, stress-filled and lawless media milieu affects us on two levels — a physical level and on a cognitive level.
On the physical level, our body is essentially a “survival machine.” Its “hard-wired” structure can automatically “scare” us to
survive. Simply put, when we “feel” that our territory is “shrinking,” our brain instinctively stimulates glands to pump
fast-acting hormones, including adrenalin, into our blood stream. Within 30 seconds we’re likely to be shaking with enough
energy to outrun a purse-snatcher on a skateboard.

Our cognitive level involves “awareness” and “thinking,” and functions dealing with symbols, memories and feelings. Research-
ers have proven that memories created in the presence of adrenalin are often the most vivid and most enduring. All these
memories are stored in our brain as symbols, a process that helps us learn and improve our chances of survival.

The benefits offered by the licensed therapist are many. First, the therapist uses dialog directly focused on the
patient’s challenges — a re-assurance that helps stimulate the warm feelings associated with “the power of being
connected” and thereby expands one’s sense of territory, lowering anxiety. Second, the patient is encouraged to share and
speak openly about existing inner thoughts. This helps release worries that shrink one’s territory and further lowers
adrenalin flow. As the dialog progresses, new thoughts and feelings may arise and be healed, further lowering anxiety.
