Anxiety and depression, stress, fight-or-flight response, amygdala.
This is a infopage about who to get you out of a cronic fight or flight reponse. If amygdala is loose in your brain.
The fight-or-flight response is a mechanism that will release stress. The mean structure that is responsible for this is a hard structure in the middle of the brain called the amygdala. It will send out stress hormones and negative emotions in a stressful situation to block the frontal lobe so you don't do anything creative in the situation. If you stress a lot over time, this structure will move back in your brain and be overactive all the time. You will be in a chronic fight-or-flight response. Now you end up in a bad cycle, and then you have to stress even more to do just normal things. You can get sicker and sicker. The amygdala will grow larger and be more overactive, and the frontal lobe will get smaller.
The stress reaction will eat away at the frontal lobe, but the main problem when you are in a stress reaction is that the brain only focuses on the negative, even if the frontal lobe is still there.
There are mainly two ways to turn the process:
The first method is to use positive emotion to reduce negative emotion. The opposite of stress is positive emotion. When you activate the body's award system by, for example, listening to music, and when you get in a good mood, you will send positive emotion from your body up to your brain. Do this process as often as you can when you are stressed.
The second mehoth.
If the amygdala is stuck in the back of your brain (loose), it is not enough to use positive emotion to suppress negative emotion. You need to find the amygdala and move it forward again. To do that, you need to move your tongue from the front of your upper mouth to the back. Do this many, many times.
