The emotional brain is a terrible boss, excellent leader. Emotions are great. They help guide us through life. We don't get through life without emotions. The idea is that when our emotions are lined up with our wounds, which means our wounds which create these deeply painful reactions that steal our intelligent brain, our cognitive thinking brain, then we're going to really start to navigate out of this emotional brain and ultimately we're going to be extremely raw and extremely reactive and ultimately our decision-making for life is going to be compromised.
Picture this: you're navigating your day when suddenly, a minor inconvenience sends you spiraling into an emotional whirlwind. Ever wondered why that happens? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into the heart of emotional reactivity, tracing its roots back to childhood trauma. Yitz explains how early experiences can hijack our emotional brain, particularly the amygdala, leading to heightened sensitivity and impulsive reactions in adulthood. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom.
Yitz shares practical tips and strategies to calm these emotional storms, helping you regain control over your responses. Whether you're dealing with the fallout of narcissistic abuse or just trying to understand your emotional triggers better, this episode offers valuable insights. Tune in to learn how emotional intelligence can transform your relationships and decision-making, paving the way for a more balanced and fulfilling life.
