I've never heard that term but I can see validity in it.
The human body and brain are amazing things.
We can re-train our brains. I went through a period of self doubt, always thinking "I will never be good enough" "What is wrong with me" All of these negative feelings/emotions took a toll on me, mentally and physically. I started putting sticky notes on my bathroom mirror with positive affirmations. "I am good enough" "I am kind and loving" "I am smart" "I can succeed"
At first it was kind of weird but I would read these sayings out loud. Then it progressed, as I would go through my days if those negative thoughts started coming into my mind I was quick to recognize them and would counter it with a positive thought.
I was able to re-train my brain.
It's very easy to slip into the negative darkness but the good thing is we can turn it around.
This is a good thing! It will help to heal not only your heart but your mind as well.
Glad to hear your son is doing good. You are wise to keep your expectations in check.
