Imagine that, for whatever reason, you have gone through life training your brain to overreact to adverse situations. Or, maybe you have taught yourself to worry unnecessarily or ruminate on negative thoughts. Maybe your brain has learned to make you lay on the horn whenever you find yourself in traffic. The nice thing about neuroplasticity research is that it shows that whatever behavior you wish to change about yourself, you have the capacity to do so. This is why therapy works.
