Your Brain is Your Hardware – Being Dad with Phil Lower, September 12, 2022

The BioPsychoStress Model helps us understand how our Brain is the physical part of our human computer. It’s our Hardware.

That means our Psychology is like our software that is programmed by our family, culture, school, etc.

Remember, Stress is “a negative emotional energy coming at you from outside of your personal boundary.”

Stress is therefore different types of data that is being input into our computer software.

If the data is actually a virus or a trojan horse program, it will corrupt and destroy your software if it’s left and not removed.

For example, with all of the depressing and angry woke and Leftist ideology that many school teachers are using to indoctrinate our children, and that is trying to destroy your family values, you have to confront the teachers to stop the virus and teach your kids with wisdom and compassion so they can withstand the negativity and pessimism.

That negative emotional energy that divides people instead of uniting them can be overcome by helping your kids make stronger more constructive decisions.

This is how we all become more like the Tortoise with stronger personal boundaries and less like the Rat. Making stronger constructive decisions is like using an antivirus before the virus reprogram our software and take over our system.

The same is true for any type of decision you make. Making better and better decisions helps improve our biology and our psychology. We become more resilient to negative stress and pessimistic people.

Now listen, when I was at my deepest point because of the severe pain and nerve damage from the GBS (Guillan-Barre Syndrome) I won’t lie and tell you I never thought about what might happen if I was no longer with my family. I sought out help to talk about things.

If you are thinking about how things could be better for your family if you weren’t with them, that is a lie from Hell and I encourage you to talk with someone. Therapy and drugs can help get you back to the place where you can begin making better decisions and overcome your difficulties.

This is how it is for us with our families. We can’t help heal in others what we haven’t helped heal within ourselves.
