The amygdala, as part of your limbic system, is responsible for always being on the lookout for potential dangers. If a danger is recognized, the body reacts with stress - in the past, this was usually a perfectly sensible and appropriate response to life-threatening situations. Nowadays, the system mainly reacts to worrying thoughts, interpersonal conflicts, problems at work, financial worries, etc. Your limbic system is on permanent alert and can trigger strong emotions and inner turmoil. In this lecture, Christopher uses a metaphor to explain what happens and how you can intervene to get back into a calm state. Christopher will also give you 2 very effective and simple exercises for your everyday life, which you can use to quickly reduce stress levels and ensure a more relaxed limbic system in the long term. You always have the opportunity to calm your system yourself.
