Unlock Your Brain's Potential: The Power of Enjoyment

Engage means you're running towards something else more interesting, productive, useful. meaningful, connection with others, peaceful, or joyous. This teaches your brain you are safe, and over time dials down the fear and the symptoms.

Wow! I needed to hear this. I knew I've been depressed because of recent life events but I've been struggling to understand why I can't get myself to do things that are fun to try and cheer myself up. It's probably because I'm so traumatized, I literally never feel safe enough to just let go and have fun anymore 😔

So true.. the word distraction does have a negative vibe versus the word engage which is more positive.

When you are in a massive flare up it's important to be very gentle with yourself until the excitation settles which makes it hard because I would rather be active.
