Psychoanalysts and counsellors know all too well that at the core of the problems encountered by their clients are stressful or traumatic memories. A little something they thought they could not help with. However today Havening therapy is becoming a game changer.

What you are about to read is the story of a family. A man with a dark past who didn't fit into society's expectations of how a family should look like. He was too different, too alienated. He needed some help but nobody offered it to him. He turned to a psychotherapist. And in the space of a couple of months, he changed.

Things that were once solid became hazy. He could no longer fit inside the constraints of the family unit and he lost part of his identity.

He also became anxious and depressed. Some of his former friends no longer visited or got stuck up. They no longer cared about him. Their caring had waned. They didn't want to play anymore. He became more paranoid. When their minds were clouded, he could now pick out liars in a crowd and tell. He had become hyper vigilant.

The story begins with the birth of his son. The man grew increasingly impatient as he watched his wife have their second child. He began to doubt that they could have another. He didn't want another dark child in the family and he didn't want another baby. He couldn't cope with another trauma.

When the son was born, he was irritable and agitated. At school he made mischief and threw things.

His father was angry and so was he. He was the head of the household. He didn't know what to do. He was powerless. He told his son to calm down and stop bothering the other children. But his son wouldn't listen. Finally the father broke down and told his son to shut up and stop bothering the other children. He wanted to die. His son said and laughed, "Why should I shut up or bother you? You are the one who conceived me. You are the one who brought me into the world. I will carry on your legacy. You are the great god of Abraham. I will carry on your legacy of creating life. "The other children quieted down and forgot about him.

After that incident, the father became lethargic and depressed. He forgot what he used to do. He didn't want to do anything. He felt as if he was frozen in time. He had lost his power. He couldn't feel anything. If his brain was stuck in 1965, he felt as. He was as emotionally inert as a statue.

The medication helped her feel something. She felt something. They both felt something.

In the 1950s, psychologists in the U.S. and Canada discovered that a chemical in the brain was responsible for emotion. The chemical was also known to be responsible for hunger, depression, pain, anxiety and sleep sensation.

Asch's discovery that the CRH was responsible for emotions was revolutionary. People could get rid of symptoms of stress by manipulating the levels of the chemical in their brains. CRH was an anti-depressant, but Asch knew that it had to be given together with antidepressant medication to be effective. The result was a pharmaceutical blockbuster. In 1978, Astghin and his colleague Daniel Kripke published an article in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders that showed that the CRH inhibited the reuptake of serotonin, a chemical that boosts serotonin levels.

Since then, there have been another two discoveries:

> The second chemical boost, dopamine, is responsible for feelings of motivation and motivation is the second chemical boost. Since we don't make dopamine on its own, it must be combined with another chemical, serotonin, in the brain to make motivation happen.

When someone felt pleasure, > Another finding was that the chemical was released. We can release dopamine by participating in activities. Since the CRH stimulated nerve cell growth, we might release more dopamine when we did activities.

> They also found that when someone felt happiness and satisfaction, CRH was released and the person could get more of it when they did certain activities.

Since the discovery of the CRH, the pharmaceutical industry has developed ways to suppress or boost the levels of the chemical to meet the needs of different patients. In addition, many medications now block its effects, so that it can't be the sole chemical boost needed. In the late 1970s, a young researcher named Carol Hughes came up with a new idea.

> Her idea was that there were other chemicals in the body besides CRH that worked in the same way and could be stimulated. It was named serotonin syndrome, and even though it had been found to stimulate bone loss, it stimulated nerve cell growth and could improve health. There were later researchers who had support and who did find that there were other chemicals in the body besides CRH that might work in the same way as CRH.

> Baez did extensive work on serotonin. He found that when someone felt happiness, dopamine was released and it stimulated nerve cell growth. This work led to the discovery of a group of chemicals called the serotonergic family, which include serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Many serotonin drugs work in the same way as CRH. They can stimulate nerve cell growth. In the 1980s, a group led by Dr. Michael Posner at the University of Miami found that serotonin did indeed stimulate nerve cell growth. They named the serotonin receptors, SERTs, after the son of the lead researcher, John Posner.

> Now there are a variety of drugs that work on serotonin. The drug sertraline, which is also an SSRI, can cause the same problem. A newer drug, citalopram, can not cause the syndrome.

> Sertraline and clomipramine have a nasty side effect called tardive dyskinesia, which is a movement disorder. Tardive dyskinesia can be corrected with treatment. Clomipramine has no tardive dyskinesia. It will be interesting to see if this phenomenon occurs with the sertraline and if it can be corrected with treatment.
> In conclusion, Sertraline has potential to be an effective medication for the treatment of ADHD.
