Dr. Chris Motley: 我将探讨创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）与免疫系统之间的关系，并解答情绪和创伤是否会影响免疫系统。我相信有一些方法可以帮助释放PTSD，从而改善身体状况。PTSD可能对患者造成严重的身体和精神上的损害。战争经历会导致大脑神经系统的变化，但PTSD的诱因不仅限于战争。在工作中遇到不喜欢的人，或者长期处于压力环境中，也会引发PTSD。身体会针对不喜欢的人、地点或事物建立防御机制，导致血压升高和身体进入战斗或逃跑状态。即使是婴儿或在子宫里遭受的创伤，也会被储存在大脑的特定区域，这些区域与身体的其他部位有神经、筋膜、能量、频率和电的连接。创伤不仅会影响情绪，还会影响身体，身体的疼痛和损伤会向大脑发送信号，反之亦然，导致身体出现问题。在中医中，与脾脏和胰腺相关的情绪是过度担心，这会影响身体的生理机能。过度担心会导致胃酸水平变化、消化不良、脾脏虚弱，从而削弱过滤淋巴结的能力，导致再次感染。过度担心还会削弱胰腺的功能，影响身体代谢糖分的能力，导致体重增加、糖尿病，并影响副交感神经系统。我推荐一些治疗师和技术，如NET（神经情绪技术），可以通过与针灸系统和脊柱合作来帮助释放情绪。EMDR（眼动脱敏再加工）是一种通过训练眼球运动来停止关注创伤的有效技术。神经反馈，特别是Lens Oaks疗法，可以通过测量大脑的柔软度来帮助释放情绪。可以结合使用神经反馈、EMDR、NET和EFT等技术来帮助释放创伤。
