The document introduces the concept of "neuro-reconnection" to describe the effects of psychotherapy on the brain and behavior. It argues that psychotherapies aim to improve patients' emotions and enable them to resume normal social and personal lives through changes in neural circuits and brain activity patterns linked to neuroplasticity. By altering the brain in this way, psychotherapy allows for reconnection with full and normal life through modified behavior. The document then discusses how behaviors are influenced by neurotransmitters and brain chemistry, and how treatments for emotional troubles like depression can help reconnect the brain and improve a person's macro-level behavior through their positive effects on inner brain states.

1. Introduction:
With this text, my intension is to coin a new term in Psychology and
Neuroscience, the neuro-reconnection, by several ways to work with
psychotherapy. The cure and/or benefits obtained from psychotherapies aim an
emotional improvement of patients, to have their job, social and personal lives
back, increase or decrease of neural circuits, new memories, changes in the
dynamic of brain blood flow, etc., phenomena regarding neuroplasticity,
changes from micro to macro order in brain, i.e., patient’s effective behavior
before their lives. This is the neuro-reconnection with full life by brain changes.
Wordkeys: neuro-reconnection, neuroscience, neuroplasticity, psychology,
behavior.
Psychology studies behavior. Whether it might be animals or humans, it tries to
understand the reason for each reaction before one or more several situations.
Which is the answer? What is it/he going to do? Why did it/he do it? These
questions are a very small sample of range of this subject, not considering the
other areas it may acts, and only some of them are for humans: social, politics,
corporate ones.
When you look at a person, you are analyzing his/her behavior, even you’re not
a scientist. Take this example: the person is sitting in a chair in a subway
station; it means he/she is waiting for someone or stopped to take a rest.
The scientists are worried with more complex behavior: why is the person so
depressed? Why does a boy get too anxious before a girl?
Everything which is visible for humans has a correspondent in brain level from
brain working or neural network. It seems simple, but it doesn’t. We have
almost 100 billion of neurons; so, we have several networks which produce
more complex behavior. Visible behavior. And these networks depend on
substances named neurotransmitter to fulfill the lacks between the neurons for a
nerve impulse goes through by neurons. This is called synapses and if a person
doesn’t have these neurotransmitters, he/she will have troubles.
The neurotransmitter noradrenalin influences on our pleasure, happiness,
humor, self-confidence, enthusiasm and alert state. Serotonin interferes in the
impulsivity, aggressiveness, in sexual behavior and in pain (1).
So, in simple way, what occurs in micro level reflects on our macro behavior or,
simply, behavior. Chemical reactions…

2. A depressed person is sad, he/she doesn’t have any energy to have a normal life.
He/she stays on bed for hours, without hungry, without enthusiasm with life. As
doctor Drauzio Varella said “On depression, the ‘existence’ is an unbearable
millstone.” (2) There is a “softer” depression, although it’s not worth to explain
its details here. It’s important to know the need of medicines and therapies in
order to help depressed people. Religious practices also help to weaken this
disease. Many people have overcome this situation after several losses (material
and/or loved ones) when participating on worships, masses, meetings, etc.,
activities linked to their religion, and they have had their normal life back.
I’m talking about depression, but therapies, medicines (and here it’s possible to
include psychiatry) and religious practices may help people to recover from
several emotional troubles, because these actions also interfere on brain
working.
See that emotional troubles, from softer to most severe ones, may have a great
impact on people’s lives: the depressed person doesn’t work, doesn’t talk with,
and people who live around him/her may feel the negative impact on their lives.
As I mentioned, the treatment performs a new connection with society, a
reconnection from improvements from inner states of brain, consequently,
improving person’s macro behavior or, once more, behavior.
This is the neuro-reconnection I’m talking about.
