PP Malfunctions
What is a Psychophysiological Malfunction? Some label their problem an emotional issue, others a spiritual disorder. Those terms are okay, but they do not paint the whole picture. The word neurosis was abandoned by DSM-III in 1980.What used to be called a neurosis was defined as “a relatively minor mental illness …
ReChanneling Inc
ReChanneling Inc. is a nonprofit public benefit corporation dedicated to the alleviation of mental complications that interfere with a person’s emotional well-being. Our programs target Social Anxiety Disorder, depression, other anxiety disorders, and issues of motivation and self-esteem.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a psychophysiological malfunction (PPM) that, like other personality disorders, can lay dormant for years before materializing. Onset most likely occurs during adolescence, and SAD lingers in the system for years or decades before fully asserting itself.
What is Cognitive-Behavioral
The cognitive-behavioral approach is a formidable tool for revitalization and for rechanneling those aspects of your condition detrimental to your mental and emotional well-being.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the mental and behavioral issues of social anxiety and other personality disorders. Its primary function is replacing irrational thought and behavior patterns with positive and rational ones.
Restructuring Our Neural Network
Neural restructuring is the deliberate scientific modification of our brain’s neural pathways. Science confirms our neural pathways are continually realigning.
We have been feeding our brain irrational thoughts and concepts since the onset of our psychophysiological malfunction (neurosis). What is irrational? Anything detrimental to our emotional wellbeing and quality of life. Simply put, it is irrational to hurt ourselves.
In contemporary philosophy, healthy philautia is the custodian of positive self-qualities (self –esteem, -compassion, -love, -regard, -respect, -value, -worth, and other wholesome intrinsic commodities).
In psychological terms, philautia is supported by positive psychology and other behavioral modifiers as a method to overcome or replace maladaptive self-beliefs common to many personality disorders.
If you have social anxiety disorder or some form of depression, or it’s hard to motivate yourself, and you lack self-confidence or self-esteem―it’s not your fault. Research shows that the onset of most mental illness happens to adolescents who have experienced detachment, exploitation, and or neglect, whether the cause be hereditary, environmental, or the result of some traumatic event. Technically, anything that interferes with a child’s social development is detrimental to adult emotional health. You were infected during adolescence and the symptoms lay dormant until they manifested when you became an adult. In any case, it’s not your fault, so don’t beat yourself up about it. Just fix it.

I am simply in awe at the writing, your insights, your deep knowing of transcend -ence, your intuitive understanding of psychic-physical pain, your connection of the pain to healing … and above all your innate compassion for those you speak of.. Janice Parker Ph.D.
