You might have heard of the “amygdala hijack.” It’s when we perceive a threat and the amygdala in our brain triggers the fight, flight or freeze reaction. Key word here is “perceived,” as it’s often not a “real” threat that causes the reaction. This automatic response shuts down our ability to think at a higher level. You can’t make careful decisions when your brain is telling you that there is immediate danger and you have to react quickly. That system is critical for keeping you safe, but sometimes it malfunctions. It’s the fire alarm going off because of burnt toast in the toaster. So how do you manage that reaction when it’s overkill? Dr. Cloud shows you examples of how to tune into where that’s coming from and how to regain control.
