The practitioner can use a lapse to review the Recover from a Craving handout at www.foodaddictionresources.com. The lapse can be turned to good use as a motivator for adding more brain-healthy activities. The more brain-healing (reconditioning) activities, the faster cue reactivity is diminished.
The second phase of brain trauma can be controlled by nutraceuticals that suppress DAMP-mediated microglial activation

Inhibition of NADPH oxidase with PhyCB may have potential not only for moderating neuronal death after trauma, but also for aiding brain healing afterward, as suppression of NADPH oxidase activity in the context of TLR4 stimulation of microglia promotes evolution of an M2 phenotype supportive of healing. M2-differentiated microglia are characterized by increased production and activity of anti-inflammatory IL-4 and IL-10, minimal production of pro-inflammatory hormones or oxidants, increased production of neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotropic factor, a capacity to promote re-myelination by supporting proliferation and survival of oligodendrocytes with NT-3, and elaboration of pro-angiogenic factors [89–91,103–105]. Omega-3 fatty acids also appear to promote an M2 phenotype in microglia [17,92–94,106,107]. This may reflect inhibition of NF-kappaB activation, a consequence of the GPR120-β-arrestin-TAK1-mediated mechanism cited above. Indeed, suppression of NF-kappaB activation with the agent parthenolide, an inhibitor of IkappaB kinase-β, likewise promotes the M2 phenotype in stimulated microglia [95,108]. The impact of EGCG, ferulic acid and genistein on M2 activity in microglia requires further study.
Ignored Components of Sexuality: The Need for Competent Clinical Practice with Child Survivors of Sexual Abuse
Published in Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, 2023
All participants reported that working with ages 5 to 16 requires more than traditional talk therapy and indicated that a combination of talk therapy with body movements in therapeutic intervention was the most effective way to heal trauma for this age range. When asked about body and brain healing, participants named bilateral therapies like eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), accelerated resolution therapy (ART) or trauma-informed yoga. One participant spoke of utilizing multiple modalities for this age range stating, “I combine ART [accelerated resolution therapy] with sand tray [and] with a mix of EMDR.”
