大腦小知識......

 

The BRAIN has a very complex structure. To keep it simple and apply

to PLAY THERAPY, basically it can be illlustrated with the following:

"遊戲" 協助我們腦部:  

 

1)　Create NEW information flow   建立新的思維

BRAIN consists of nerce cells (NEURONS) interconnected by

neural pathways   --> They are the Cells that Fire Wire Together --> 

 

PLAY builds new neuron pathways by record new experience
透過遊戲, 建立新的體驗, 同時能夠剌激神經元

 

2)　Calm our mind  平靜我們的情緒

PLAY aids the release of opioids and oxytocin: 

* We do not feel aggressive or anxious - we feel calm and psychologically strong

* We have a feeling that everything is well 

* We have a deep sense of well-being 

* We feel safe 

* Our immune system works better

* We are better able to learn

 

A child can stay calm through PLAY and reflection 

遊戲過程令腦部釋放的物質能協助我們穩定情緒

 

3)　Connect the rational brain with the emotional system

The Triune Brain 

- The Reptilian Brain (Survivial, lower brain)

- The Mammalian Brain (Love, Emotion, Memory - Mid brain)

- **The Rational Brain**

(Thinking, Creation, Problem Solving -> distinguishes us as humans - Higher brain) 

 

WHY Talking is no use for an ‘out of control child’    
為什麼說話不能控制頑劣的孩童 ? 

* The reptilian brain has taken over    原始大腦控制身體, 自我防衛機制已啟動

* ‘IQ’ is reduced                   IQ 已下降                             

 

PLAY Therapy help the rational brain to co-ordinate with the
emotional systems of the mammalian brain
