Did you know that God created our brains with a control center that has four levels to it? Those of us who desire to help the hurting and wounded should learn all we can about this concept. It is important to know how God designed the brain to work when it is healthy and what happens to it when it becomes traumatized. Trauma impacts the various levels of the brain's control center differently. The correct skills and interventions must be applied to effectively resolve pain in the brain's control center. If you are involved in prayer ministry you will find this an invaluable resource that could change the way you work. This kind of information about the brain and the necessary skills to attend to its pain is like the balm of Gilead we have all needed to get us on the right track.
