So tonight how to resolve emotional experiences from the past that continuously intrude into our current lives.

The revolution provided us with multiple ways to respond to changes and challenges in our world.

That's what feelings are for, they are responses to either real or anticipated events in the world that could

affect our we focus attention on it, we use our massive frontal lobes, especially the left

towards the lateral to problem solve the issue, or we might ask for help and advice

from others. And all of this is courtesy of our frontal lobes and they involve top-down

inhibiting so that we can just deal with issues but there are threatening painful, overwhelming, or sometimes even positive situations

that result in our frontal lobes being overwhelmed and regions involved or on the one hand you've got the

amigula and the peri aqueductal gray that activates your hypathalamus which controls your endocrine system and so we release

adrenaline and norepinephrine and cortisol. And then we also have our hippocampus, which when overwhelmed through the lateral septum, deactivates

Gaba, Vassipressin and oxytocin and all that. The most important thing to remember is that it shifts us from a state of calm or what we could call homeostasis to either up into heightened mobilization which is known as fight flight.

So we go from calm, collected, socially engaged, problem solving solving up to this heightened anxious state of I have to do

something and most of the time that's fight or flight or we go down into an immobilization state where we're just completely overwhelmed and we go into a state of one fawn, so we just say or comply with someone or some situation just to hope

to survive, or we freeze.

So we go out of these states in the middle,

where we're calm and we either shoot up into the sympathetic

mobilization, fight flight flight or we go down
