Fear and aggression stem from the “flight or fight” reaction more commonly known as the stress response.
A cluster of neurons deep within the brain tissue called the amygdala triggers three emotional states – fear, rage and appeasement.
- Fear includes anxiety and panic.
- Appeasement is expressed as a nervous, over-anxious friendliness or may be expressed as a warm floaty state that feels as if the mind is separate from the body.
- Rage is the explosive outburst of anger - action without thought.
These three emotions are key factors in most diagnoses of psychological dysfunction.
Sea Change uses different pathways to address these issues. Biofeedback programs like HeartMath are an integral part of therapy to improve emotional control. |
