The ability to quickly recognize fearful situations and other
emotional signals, may be critical to survival, as it enables us
to detect potential threats. The amygdala is believed to play a
central role in these processes.


The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped structure deep in the
brain, located on the medial surface of the temporal lobe, which
processes both positive and negative emotions. Brain scanning
studies show that the amygdala is activated in response to fear,
even when it is not real. There is a caveman/cavewoman instinct
still activated in modern society, even when the danger is not
from a Saber-tooth tiger, but an appraisal, an exam, presentation
or something innocuous.

The trigger may come from watching a movies; from a text message;
from anxiety, stress, loneliness, anticipatory fear. They may not
be real; but feel real to you.

The brain's response may cause the amygdala to inappropriately
fire and move you into a fight/flight/freeze response; which for
you, may take the form of Dissociation, panic, self-harming,
attack, conflict or a multitude of responses. The Autonomic
Nervous System has kicked in. If you cannot sleep and still await
at 2am in the morning, try reading about it - called The
Polyvagal Theory. (I can send you some info if you want to
request them).

The front lobe (Prefrontal Cortex) - the rational thinking part
of the brain - responds to the cue from the Amygdala and goes
off-line, as a survival activation. ("But it isn't a real
survival/life or death situation brain"!). "We don't believe you"
- says the brain. "We are just doing our job".

The Emotional part of the brain - The Limbic System - takes over
and starts making some major bridge burning decisions, without
consultation. ("I feel, so I do". Not "I feel so I think").

Use the "Special Place/Calm Plan/Relaxed Place/My Place
Exercise" to keep or bring the Rational thinking part of the
brain back online and cause Dissociation to recede. Let The
Kairos Centre teach you how to do so.
