Adaptability: Navigating an Ever Changing World

John Lennon is quoted as saying: ‘Life is what happens when you are making other plans.’

Indeed, Life continues to throw curve-balls at us: from the Covid, tragedy, familial and cultural tensions, financial uncertainty – as well as the cumulative stressors of daily life, multitasking, keeping up with technical literacy, and information overload.  

Midst all the unrest and turmoil, it seems useful to consider the principle of flexibility in the natural world, as observed in how water overcomes the obstacles, the rocks in the river, by flowing around them.

Adaptability is described as the ability to adjust to new conditions, quickly shift plans in changing environments. In the workplace, it’s the ability to rapidly learn new skills, find alternative solutions, ways of operating in response to changing circumstances.

Adaptability implies flexibility, resilience, the capacity to meet and manage stressors, with less emotional reactivity and more balanced physiological responses. Frequently, the lack of adaptability is reflected in disregulation of the autonomic nervous system, (ANS), our ‘internal thermostat’, which regulates physiological and involuntary functions. There may be an imbalance, or adjustment issue between the ‘fight or flight’ arousal response (Sympathetic Nervous System) – when action is required – and the ‘relaxation response’ – when regeneration, restorative rest, is needed.

Mental muscle vs adhd, a drug – free approach | Remote Counseling in Sleepy Hollow

Daniel Goleman, noted author of ‘Focus: The Hidden Ingredient in Excellence’ and ‘Emotional Intelligence’, in his New York Times article: ‘Mental Muscle vs ADHD’, suggests that strengthening mental focus, or cognitive control, and mindfulness, may help children suffering with ADHD, and adults with A.D.D.

Research has shown that cognitive control –  impulse management, paying attention or learning readiness, self- regulation –  to be a predictor of success, both in school and work life.

Meditation is a cognitive control exercise that enhances ‘ the ability to self-regulate your internal distractions’ says Dr Adam Gazzelay, neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco. Also, ‘mindfulness seems to flex the brain circuitry for sustaining attention, an indicator of cognitive control’ according to research by Wendy Hasencamp and Lawrence Barselou, Emory University.

Alternative, drug-free therapies, such as Neurofeedback or EEG Biofeedback, by enabling self-regulation of the central nervous system, can , like mindfulness training, also help children with ADHD, and adults with ADD  improve focus and gain cognitive control.

Alternatives to drug treatment for pain – radio frequency

In a Q & A article in the New York Times titled ‘Pain Medications Can Lose Their Punch’, the question was asked: Why would a pain medication lose its efficiency after working well for several years?

In his response Dr Shahil Ahmed, a pain medicine specialist at New York-Presbyterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medical Center, replied: ‘ It is due to a phenomenon called tolerance., in which there is a decrease in response over time to repeated exposures of the body to pain medication. ‘This might be due to drug interactions, or bodily changes add a substance that induces an enzyme responsible for disposing of the drug.’ Other causes include increase in nervous system receptors, called NMDA receptors.

Dr Ahmed’s practice and research include several alternatives to conventional drug treatment for pain, including use of radio frequency to interrupt the nerve pathways of pain.

This approach would appear to correspond with alleviating neurological conditions using the Low Energy Neurofeedback System ( LENS). The LENS uses tiny radio frequency carrier waves in a faint electromagnetic field for disentrainment, causing a brief fluctuation in a person’s brainwave patterns, thereby allowing ‘stuck’ or dysfunctional ones to correct themselves.

Alzheimer’s is Preventable | Biofeedback Therapy Tarrytown

Alzheimer’s Disease – a form of dementia affecting 5.6 million Americans , currently incurable – is preventable, according to The Lancet Neurology, an established medical journal for brain research.

In Dr Joseph Mercola’s interview of board-certified neurologist and nutritional authority, Dr David Perlmutter what it brought out and emphasized is the important role of aerobic exercise and healthy lifestyle choices: that eating a diet high in ‘good’ fats and oils, and low in carbs can positively affect brain health and lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s.

Dr David Perlmutter is author of the best-selling book, ‘Grain Brain: the Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs and Sugar – Your Brain’s Silent Killer.’ In the book, he states: ‘Lifestyle choices, like aerobic exercise, healthy fats, reducing carbs, including whole grains, affect overall brain health, as well as risk of Alzheimer’s.’ Further, says Dr Perlmutter, ‘a hi-carb diet, of which 20% comes from wheat-based food,’ can lead to Dementia, ADHD, Anxiety, Chronic Headaches , Depression and other neurological diseases.

Gluten in wheat leads to gluten-sensitivity and the production of Zonulin in the gut, according to Dr Dasano, a pediatric gastroenterologist and research scientist directing the Center for Celiac Research & Treatment at Mass. General Hospital, Boston. Zonulin is the cornerstone of diseases characterized by permeability of the gut and inflammation in the brain – Alzheimer’s, Autism, Parkinson’s and Attention Deficit Disorders as well as auto-immune diseases’- related to consumption of carbohydrates, says Dr Perlmutter. Dr Fasano’s research shows that reaction to Zonulin is not confined to the 1.85% with Celiac, but is present in 100% of the population.

Medications Aren’t The Only Option

 

As the Opioid Crisis shook the public’s view of painkillers and pharmaceutical companies came under fire for their marketing practices, many patients looked for alternatives. One of the leading contenders; talk therapy.

Psychologists, therapists, and social workers have become a crucial part of pain treatment programs, proving to be as effective or more so than medication. Still, finding the right pain counseling can take effort.

Many pain psychologists treat chronic pain with cognitive behavior therapy (which focuses on reframing thoughts to positively affect behavior and emotions) or mindfulness (which involves learning to become conscious of feelings without reacting to them). Acceptance and commitment therapy combines C.B.T. and mindfulness to help patients accept their emotions and respond to them. Another method is biofeedback, which monitors patients’ muscle tension, heart rate, brain activity, or other functions to make them aware of their stress and help them learn to control it. And some clinicians use hypnosis, which can be effective at managing pain for some people. What unifies all these treatments is a focus on teaching patients how they can use their minds to manage their pain.

Large medical centers and boutique practices are more likely to have comprehensive pain treatment but tend to be in urban areas. People in rural areas or those who can’t afford the services get left out, said Rachel Aaron, an assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Johns Hopkins Medicine. But even in cities, not all large medical networks have pain services.

If you are interested in trying a pain therapist, Dr. Aaron said, the first stop should be your primary care doctor. Some insurance plans cover pain psychology, but others do not. It’s important to talk to a mental health provider first about how to get treatment covered.

After that, look for specialized pain clinics by calling hospitals in your area or use the Find a Therapist function on the Psychology Today website.

Some experts recommend working with licensed professionals with doctorates or master’s degrees in psychology or clinical social work with additional training in chronic pain, and to interview them about their training and approach before getting started. Most important, you should feel comfortable enough to open up with them.
