Why does Restarting talk so much about Brain Science and Brain Training?
Trauma and addictions both impair the brain’s structure and function, and make it much harder for us to cooperate with the direction of God for our lives and to live out the desires that God places in our hearts. New advances in brain science are helping us better understand how the brain develops and work, so that we can cooperate with God’s healing process more fully. Trying to cooperate with the spirit of God when our brain’s structure and function is impaired is a lot like trying to wave at a friend when the muscles in your arm are damaged, torn or atrophied. You may strongly desire to wave but if your muscles are damaged and unable to cooperate, you won’t be able to follow through! Likewise, the brain is the physical organ in our body that is needed to cooperate with the flow of God’s spirit in our lives. Following the direction of the Spirit in our lives, and living from the Heart that Jesus gave us requires a brain that is healthy enough to cooperate with His leadership. In Rest
