![]() ![]() Hopper’s website claims that various forms of trauma ranging from infection to extreme emotional stress and exposure to toxins can cause the limbic system to get stuck in a “fight, flight or freeze response” and become impaired. The limbic system is located in the midbrain and is associated with emotion, learning, memory, and the body’s stress response. The system she developed claims to be able to reverse limbic system impairment. She claims to have been healed when she discovered how to “creatively rewire” the neural circuits in her brain that had been altered by this trauma. Her only qualification for developing the DNRS is based on her personal experience concerning recovery from what she believed was a toxic brain trauma. The problem is that most of the programs that tout this ability of the brain are being promoted by untrained people who are misapplying the brain’s ability to rewire itself in ways that are not substantiated by science.Ī good example of this problem is the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS) developed by Annie Hopper, a core belief counselor, newspaper columnist and self-proclaimed expert in Emotional Wellness. We’ve been receiving a lot of questions lately about programs that claim to help people regain their lost self-esteem or overcome anxiety by “rewiring” the brain based on principles of neuroplasticity.
