Heartbreak Hijack, Stress and How to Reduce Anxiety Ep. 90

Heartbreak Hijack, Stress and How to Reduce Anxiety Ep. 90

In this episode, Sylvia delves into the impact of breakups on our brains, highlighting the concept of "amygdala hijack" and how it influences our emotional responses. Drawing on insights from Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, she explains the interplay between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex, and how stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline affect us during tough times.

Discover why understanding your thoughts is crucial for healing and learn practical strategies to manage anxiety. Sylvia shares techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you become more aware of your thought patterns and introduce mindfulness practices to connect with your body.

Key topics include:

  • The science behind emotional responses during breakups
  • The connection between anxiety and amygdala hijack
  • Strategies for managing stress through conscious thought
  • The importance of listening to your body and recognising emotions
  • Effective breathing techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system

Join Sylvia as she encourages you to take control of your mental well-being, fostering a sense of calm amidst life's challenges.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence
  • 4-7-8 Breathing Technique
