Читать книгу Neurowave III. Sensitivity, Pleasure, and the Quality of Experience - Группа авторов - Страница 2

The first two books of the NeuroWave series were devoted to the foundations of the method and to the processes of restoring nervous system regulation. They examined the bodily and neuropsychological mechanisms underlying chronic stress, loss of self-regulation, and the formation of resilience. A logical continuation of this analysis is the question of what occurs after basic regulation has been restored.

Practical experience and contemporary research indicate that symptom reduction and restored resilience are not always accompanied by a return of experiential richness. A person may be functionally stable while simultaneously experiencing reduced sensitivity, diminished capacity for pleasure, and a narrowed emotional range. These states often remain outside the focus of psychological care, as they do not fit within the framework of clinical diagnoses.

This book is devoted precisely to this level of processes – sensitivity, pleasure, and the quality of experience as functions of the nervous system. Here, pleasure is not considered as stimulation or an emotional peak, but as the result of integrated regulation, bodily accessibility, and the capacity to perceive signals from the body and the environment.

In this book, the NeuroWave method is presented as an approach that allows work with the restoration of sensitivity without forcing and without striving for intense states. Primary attention is given to gradualness, safety, and the neurophysiological foundations of processes that are often described exclusively in subjective or philosophical terms.

It is important to emphasize that this book is not a guide to achieving pleasure and does not propose normative ideas of how one «should» feel. Its task is to describe the mechanisms through which the capacity for experience becomes accessible and to outline a scientific framework for discussing this topic.

I consciously maintain a balance between scientific rigor and clarity of presentation, viewing the NeuroWave method as a developing model open to further research and professional dialogue. I hope that this book will contribute to a deeper and more balanced understanding of the role of bodily sensitivity and pleasure in the psychology of quality of life.
