I am on my phone again so I will only address one thing.
I have consistently been practicing meditation for 20 years. In that I also practice my form of neuro plasticity through visualisation and intention. Powerful concepts.

I consider practicing CBT and the twelve steps of AA brain training. It is all about decision making and right action. It is all about uncovering unconscious processes, bringing them into awareness, seeing how they effect emotions and behavior, and making changes for better outcomes. This I have also been doing for twenty years. As a matter if fact I am currently trying to help my siblings with these concepts as they have issues they have never chosen to deal with that are cropping up. None of them have any mental illness. Well my sister has moderate depression that has been well managed with Wellbutrin for many years. The med is not the only thing she does, especially the last two years she has done a ton.

SNAP CLUB I have tried to look up a few times and can't find a single thing on it. Quite honestly I would feel foolish walking through the grocery store snapping my fingers a thousand times. We make hundreds of decisions every minute. I understand your concept but I think I accomplish the same thing by other means. Would be nice to see a source for it.

There are lots of new books in brain training for lots of things. I am a little skeptical at first when a bunch of docs all write their own book on their theory or technique of it. Jeffery Schwartz is someone I trust and have read a few of his books. I may buy a depression brain training book if it isn't to gimmicky and makes sense to me. If you followed the whole discussion in that other thread I think you will find I take a very broad view as it applies to myself and treatment. Especially in a spiritual sense. Apotheosis and I had a very good discussion.
