By regulating our breathing, we are telling our brain everything's okay. By regulating our body and slowing down the processes, by paying attention to our heart rate and our breathing and using biofeedback, our body is literally telling the amygdala in the brain that there's no reason to be afraid, that the emergency response is not necessary, and this process brings back on the prefrontal cortex of the brain and we begin to make rational decisions once more.
Imagine being able to control those overwhelming feelings that seem to hijack your brain during moments of stress or trauma. In this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', Robert Cox dives into the fascinating ways our brains react to trauma and addiction, and how we can regain control through mindfulness. Have you ever felt like you're reliving a traumatic event as if it's happening all over again?
Robert breaks down why this happens and how our brain's protective mechanisms can sometimes backfire, causing anxiety and panic. But don't worry, there's hope! By practicing mindfulness techniques like focused breathing and biofeedback, you can learn to calm your body's emergency responses and bring your rational mind back into the driver's seat.
Robert guides you through practical exercises designed to lower your daily stress levels, helping you create a mental space where you can respond to life's challenges with clarity and intention. Whether you're struggling with trauma, addiction, or just looking for ways to manage stress better, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to help you on your journey to recovery. Tune in and discover how to harness the power of mindfulness to regulate your emotional brain.
