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.

Holy Spirit walked me through healing my amygdala. I didn't even know what it was. God is awesome 💗

SAME HERE didn't need Dr types at all, the spirit worked with the body Healed it all, like you didn't need to know what it was, just left the abuse (with help from the spirit also) and mind/body just rebalanced itself all on its own as its designed to do. It's why I stay away from Dr types always been guided from Within Healed from within. Other humans just interfere with the process and they need to intellectualise everything which is nothing to do with spirit in fact that all gets in the way of spiritual healing, interfering interrupting spiritual process ✨️ 🙏 😊

@@Jesuslovesyou902 pray into yourself pray for yourself ask the Spirit within to do its thing! And just let it do its work without interference or trying to control it, just let go & let God/spirit within to its thing ❤ If you BELIEVE you shall receive.

Praisee God for you Dr. Cloud. You are such a Gentle Man, a Fruit of the Holy Spirit. This is confirmation of what I commented on a previous video of hitting the wall & heard it was ok. I had this fight or flight but froze in choir, got angry Sunday with fear of associations of past hurts, & what was said with paradoxical communication. I had perceived a threat, became angry so I prayed after leaving & wrote a defense to my thinking & why I reacted, then I think regressed? into submitting & apologizing though the other person had said I thought, had triggers & perceived a threat. And what you said in the video was also like my marriage. All these problems can only be resolved with an intimate relationship with the Lord, but we need the Church family to support each other. And I heard two other terms for the Autonomic Nervous System: Fawn (as in domestic abuse) & Friend? I think with prayer that last one is the best choice, which I think the Lord wants me to stay close & remember that He will protect me. God bless you so much more!

Well, that explains everything. So I'm not the worst human being for going into fight, flight or freeze. This is really wild, when I even hear a certain accent in a voice, it's like my voice doesn't work very well. I have half my voice. I need help.

So okay from what I have got from your one point or ideology about fight or flight, in a Marriage type setting, Women mostly are not the cause or don't act as the aggressive or the aggressor, mostly men are, are you sure about this?
