Dr. Karen Sherman Presenting Workshop to Teach Tools That "Re-Wire" Old Patterned Ineffective Behaviors

Patterns of behavior learned in childhood are continued into adulthood. However, though helpful in childhood, they are ineffective later on; people end up on "auto-pilot" and merely react in an emotionally frozen way to life. However, there are ways to stop these patterns and learn to function and live more satisfactorily and joyfully.

Plainview, NY, May 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- "When people go to traditional talk therapy, they gain insight into their issues. However, when they get back out into the 'real' world, they are often still triggered by situations," according to Dr. Karen Sherman. "That's because they unknowingly are reacting to implicit memories -- memories from their past that they don't recall but have left unresolved concerns."

However, there are now tools available to address these issues in order to make a long-lasting change in one's behavior. "Too often, people are merely reacting to patterns learned in childhood as if they are on 'auto-pilot,' as if they are emotionally frozen," says Dr. Sherman.

At the conclusion of a recent talk Sherman gave, an elderly woman came up to her and revealed that as a child she had been inappropriately touched by a cousin. Since that time, she had been harboring negative, hurt feelings. But due to an exercise that Dr. Sherman provided in the talk, the woman was able to let go of the old feelings she had been holding onto.

"These exercises help to "re-wire" the brain," explains Dr. Sherman. She will be sharing a more extensive explanation and tools in a workshop she is offering on May 22 in Huntinton from 10:00a - 1:00p.
