Communication
Loving Through the Storm teaches about Mirroring and Smart Contact
When a partner has been medicated, it can become difficult to communicate with them while they are under the influence. The loved one is medically spellbound due to the psychiatric prescription. As a result, you need a special way of communicating as the medicated while under the influence have difficulty and in many cases are unable to see what has happened to them. Intentional Communication is the key.
What the medicated are not told is these drugs have been designed to alter a personality via neurotoxins introduced into the brain. As a result, this can alter personality and turn you into the enemy. As Adam explains:
Here is what is actually happening at the neurochemical level. SSRIs flood serotonin into the synaptic cleft, which suppresses dopamine through the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor pathways. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that assigns emotional weight, meaning, and reward to your closest relationships. When dopamine is suppressed, the brain can no longer feel the bond with the spouse. The person does not experience this as “the drug is blocking my ability to feel love.” They experience it as “I must not love this person.” Once the brain reaches that conclusion, it needs a story to justify the feeling.
