> But what I think Dr Noodle is trying to say (well maybe not) is that okay, having, say, bad life experiences or even bad thoughts, can 're-wire' your brain and therefore the chemicals in it which is then clearly a physical change. So, literally, what you think/feel/experience in consious/unconsious can change your hard wiring for the better or worse.
>Thanks- I think you said it much better than Dr. Noodle herself :)
I only add that there is empirical research that therapy (and meditation, etc) can change brain functioning. Just because a treatment works on the psychological level does not preclude it from causing lasting physiological changes as well.
