@drleewarren: Let's talk about strong feelings. Imagine you're a bus driver. You don't get to choose who gets on the bus. Fear and other strong feelings can be on the bus. Just don't let them drive! Naming the feeling is not weakness. In Lieberman et al., 2007, putting feelings into words increased right ventrolateral prefrontal activity and reduced the amygdala response to negative images. Your mind can engage the brain’s regulatory networks without waiting for the alarm to go quiet. “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5, ESV Notice. Name. Act. Keep driving. save this for the next time strong feelings start driving the bus of your life. And share it with a friend who needs to know that feelings are not facts, they are chemical events in your brain. That's the second commandment of self-brain surgery.
