Book excerpt: Phantom Stress : Brain Training to Master Relationship Stress introduces the reader to Logosoma Brain Training, a four-step practice that liberates one from the stresses that cause self-sabotaging patterns of thought, emotion and behavior and undo secure relationships. Phantom Stress is rooted in adverse childhood experiences or past stresses from adult life. These phantoms memoires eclipse appropriate responses to life in the present and derail healthy self awareness, disrupt secure boundaries, and destroy positive emotional connections. This book teaches readers how to track down and neutralize toxic memoires that produce phantom stress, and open new brain pathways to reconnecting with others for creative adaptive resilience to stress lasting love and compassion.
