When you use subjective labels to place on people and place on things, you are actually going to be operating in a state that is semi-delusional, and what I mean by that is that you are going to be assuming a great many things about something because it fits a category or a label that you've been taught to think.
Ever feel like the world is more divided than ever? In this episode of 'Minding Your Amygdala', Dr. Alauna Curry, a Trauma Psychiatrist, tackles this very issue. With a mix of empathy and science, she breaks down why our society feels like it's tearing at the seams and what we can do about it. Dr. Alauna argues that our brains are wired for tribalism, leading us to group with those who are similar and fear those who are different.
This fear-driven mindset is running the show, thanks to our amygdalas—the part of the brain responsible for emotions. Dr. Alauna doesn't just highlight the problem; she offers solutions. She stresses the urgent need for mass education on mental health, suggesting that understanding our brains can help us make better decisions and reduce fear-based reactions. One key point she makes is the danger of using subjective labels.
These labels put us in a semi-delusional state, making us assume things about others based on preconceived notions. If you're interested in mental health, societal issues, or just want to understand why people act the way they do, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Alauna's insights on empathy and self-recovery from trauma offer a fresh perspective on how we can start healing as individuals and as a society.
