Why the Brain Cannot Heal: Limbic Lock, Chronic Fight-or-Flight and Treatment Resistance

19 Jun 2026
In this session, Dr Eboni Cornish will explore how persistent limbic system activation and chronic fight-or-flight signalling can prevent healing and contribute to treatment resistance. Using functional SPECT imaging and a brain-first framework, she will explain how dysregulated brain states can limit neuroplasticity and responsiveness to care, and discuss approaches to restoring neurological safety and improving outcomes.
