Episode 01 – The Internal Warning System

Exploring Brain and Mind

EPISODE SUMMARY:

The first episode is about our Internal Warning System, the Amygdala and how it influences our brain and mind. It has evolved over many millennia to warn us of danger but often is a bit too hypersensitive when we enter new situations or are faced with change.

The episode will help you understand the processes that happen in our brain when we are faced with change, unfamiliar situations or people and at times of danger.

It also offers some tools and techniques to apply to calm the mind prior to or during times of change or uncertainty to empower us to embrace the new and the unfamiliar as our brain does need stimulation through activities and new experiences.
