I have just recently concluded through self analysis and reading and watching/studying YT channels about the brain that I am "seeing, feeling and adopting" more positivity after a life time of negativity and skeptism. I never thought it possible that I would ever see the light.THANK YOU dude for the pathway and confirmation.

Dr. Kushner, I shared your lecture with my patient as an introduction to why we are training parasympathetic responses as well as using CBT to identify what possible experiences have trained his fear reactions I like research about positive emotions as a function. That is why we can neutralize the fear with a positive thought. Love the intense emotions lecture. I'll use it too help patients understand and know that they can cope.

Hi Jacqueline, I'm so happy you shared my lecture on the amygdala with your patient. I find more and more mental health professionals using these kinds of videos with their patients to showcase how the mind and body work.

My psychiatrist told me that the pain attacks and fear... I'm having are all because of this named the amygdala and you just made me understand what's really happens when I'm having a panic attack or a fear of something. Words can't be enough to describe how thankful i am. Keep up the good work thanks for making this complicated terms make sense and helping us know more about our bodies and how do they function ❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

@PsychExplained Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! Love that phrase “really digestible”. This is the core of every video I make :) Thinking about how we respond to the environment is such a great topic. If you want to research something cool look up “reflex arc”. Our reflexes (like touching a hot stove) is controlled by our spinal cord - our brain is not aware we have touched something hot (or stepped on something sharp) until AFTER we remove our finger (foot) 🧠😎

My first vid of this channel. Outstanding this explanation. I ended up here after watching a coach slapping his judoka in the face before she got to the mat at the 2021 Olympic Games. So I asked myself: WTF did he do that for? Apparently this was a “defractionation” process of the “fight or flight” responses (trances) that the amygdala automatically provides to that Judoka. The coach basically interrupted that whole process and brought his pupil back to earth (‘the now’). Your vid is very detailed and still very clear even to me as a layman. Good job.
