deconditioning

Deconditioning is trauma therapy and a cure for scatterbrain. It is the repeated cultivation of thought loops into a single optimised process. The process involved cycles of crisis (identifying thoughts), equanimity (letting them be), clarity (integration of thoughts) and doubt (the old thoughts 'trying' to reactivate). This cycle is always the same and speeds up as maladaptive thoughts decrease in number, until eventually the cycle stops altogether. 

The clarity phase can often be mistaken for bipolar hypomania and the crisis phase for a 'mixed episode', so developing the ability to retain control through [regulation] and develping a positive [scaffold] is very important.
