Fucking hell

So my therapist today was explaining a concept I already know well but in a very interesting way, and of course, as always, my brain just goes.... Ah, yes, this is about Logan Sanders

She was explaining about how trauma and extensive stress can cause a loss of communication between the 'upstairs and downstairs' of the brain - the logic & reasoning vs the emotions

I mean, the phrase she literally used was that it causes the brain to 'pop its top' but yeah no, just explosion that makes a mess where emotions are in control and logic can't quiet things back down because of the loss of communication between the two

So, like, anxiety thinking there is danger due to a trigger, and without logic and reasoning properly in play, it can't do its job - calming things down by reassuring and saying that no, that danger is not here, based on factual information, everything is okay

The goal is essentially to get the upstairs and downstairs, the logic and the emotions, to communicate again, by finding the pieces that are triggering the emotion overloads and desensitizing them so that both parts are staying in communication instead of constantly fighting to break apart

Meaning logic has to be playing a very large part in order to maintain control and keep the connection there, and emotions, as important as they are to be felt and understood, have got to chill for a second to get things back in balance

Like I said, interesting
