![]() At this moment people excuse their feelings/reactions by blaming others, pointing fingers, while being angry at themselves for how they reacted. Both the brain and body are experiencing multiple emotions including anger, fear, hurt, disappointment, and many others. When the brain is under conflict, the body is reacting. In the heat of the conflict, our neural pathways, located at the prefrontal cortex shuts down immediately, depriving us from intaking information in a coherent format, while establishing a perception of what the other individual said, and trapping ourselves in the “I’m right and you are wrong” mindset. The amygdala is hijacked, forcing us to become disoriented in a heated event. Our reaction, the initial sting is felt and reaction results in the amygdala. When I say our emotions sit at the surface, they are received in the sensory thalamus. ![]() The thalamus gland in our brain receives the emotional stimuli from a message. Recently, research has discovered that a message received in the thalamus is transferred directly to the amygdala, without routing through the cortex, causing a rapid reaction of brain’s natural system. It is only afterward that we digest the event. The reaction is rapid-initially, and we become startled immediately. There are two pathways to a reaction that occur in the amygdala: confront the entity (fight) or shutdown (flight). Overtime, anger, stress and other negative emotions, if not dealt with, will impact the ability to learn and remember new information. Brain fog refers to the inability to think rationally and usually occurring when in conflict. When the brain is under stress, stress can last longer than expected and impacts the hippocampus reducing cognition resulting in brain fog. The reaction happens so quickly that the brain becomes stressed. How many of you can feel the blood rising in your body or feel hot when angry? These are the physiological reactions when an individual is experiencing conflict. Anger builds up quickly while blood rushes to the brain. At the initial moment of conflict our brain cortisol levels release instantaneously, causing us to overreact in zero to sixty seconds. The reaction in your brain resides in the amygdala, located near the hippocampus of the frontal temporal lobe in the brain. Emotions sit at the surface and appear first, specifically when a fight or flight conflict arises. The psychology of people is such that emotions will be impacted almost instantaneously. When we, folks who touch people, work with individuals who are experiencing conflict, whether it is with self, others, and tangibles, we are quick to find clarity and get to the root of the problem. Understanding how the brain is impacted during conflict is vital to helping people find their path to conflict resolution. While we are easily able to help others by being an outside, third, or neutral party, taking care of your health, body, and mind is vital to your “I CAN” attitude everyday! As an organizational health specialist or an individual who works with people, it is difficult to sometimes take time to relate to the people and find the root cause of the problem.
