Emotional Mind Modeling develops a new method, psychophysiotherapy, for curing stress-related disorders including manic depression. After decades, the world accepts Freud’s psychotherapy. A therapist guides a patient into recalling repressed trauma memories and he is relieved of inner emotional stresses, compulsions, and fears. E.G., A patient has an unexplained fear of elevators. Through therapy, he recalls that his older brother locked him in a closet when he was two. He then understands his fear of elevators and small spaces. A repressed memory has become conscious as an understandable, "normal" memory. Life is no longer as controlled by an "incomprehensible" early trauma. A "cure" for manic depression and stress-related disorders has been developed through twenty years research by a "patient." This self-help method, psychophysiotherapy, or mind healing through unique physical exercises is exciting, but involved, and has not been proven in a purely scientific method. New methods of mind healing are accepted slowly.

As in psychotherapy, mechanisms for activating and purging trauma scars, pathway disruptions, and repressed memories have been developed. Normal activities harmonize nerve cells throughout the brain and memories are stored toward the back. Trauma events are too energetic or occur too fast to form normal memories. Instead, localized neural networks are traumatized or "burned" and become rigid causing neural pathway disruptions. Brain functions are degraded. Similar events re-activate trauma memories, and a patient experiences uncertainty and pain without understanding the source.

What causes the snap and pop sensations when we exercise the neck? Sensations are modeled as releases of trauma scar energy. Eight years of experimentation and the sensations from this experimentation support this model. Trauma memories also include repressed memories of extreme neck and facial muscle tensions. This fact is used to develop psychoactive methods for activating trauma scars to relieve inner stress. Muscles are connected to nerves and nerves are connected to neurons within the brain. Exercises can stimulate trauma scar neural networks and relieve their disruptive effects. 

With continued exercises, the character of mental energy releases vary with time and become progressively less energetic. A feedback system within the brain has been developed. At times inner activities make it hard to focus on normal activities. Exercises develop feelings of peace and understanding. 

Psychophysiotherapy is like a vaccination. The mind is stressed to manic levels through physical and mental exercises, then the mind and body are calmed with meditation. When real stress occurs, the mind is prepared to defend itself from mania and high emotions. The brain is like muscles. It only grows when exercised to limits. After a high stress workout, the mind becomes free from stress and able to control emotional levels and moods. 

The psychoactive sensations are much like feelings of an alcoholic high, but are feelings of true mental healing. True mental healing is long and involved. Continued work will simplify healing methods. Freedom from insanity is worth any effort. New processes will reduce dependence on zombifying psychiatric drugs that often reduce patients to less than human. 

Psychophysiotherapy is a more normal and lasting cure than effects from artificial psychiatric drugs. Psychotherapy is a more precise cure for specific stress than is psychophysiotherapy that produces more general mental healing. Psychoactive drugs have the most effect in altering brain functions but often overwhelm unintended functions. Psychophysiotherapy is a needed strong, natural addition between psychotherapy and psychoactive drugs. 

Trauma scars are the localized neural networks that have been overloaded or "burned" by over-stimulation. Psychotherapy and physical exercises make physical changes to neural networks. With localized "physical" tensions—trauma scars—released, the mind is no longer confined by the "emotional design limits" from youthful conflicts but processes with wider, gentler "genetic design limits." Relieving inner tensions enhances spiritual peace. 

The brain no longer has to avoid the disruptive neural paths, becomes free to re-grow, and functions with present-day emotions without dredging up historical pain. Psychotherapy stimulates repressed trauma memories with emotional conflict at the edge of consciousness. Psychophysiotherapy does the same. Cleared of trauma scars, the human mind has just begun to think.
