✨It’s not about shutting it down
November 5, 2025
🔑 One of the most powerful things I teach my clients?
How to have a relationship with their amygdala.
✨This little part of the brain is essential for survival—it scans for differences and sounds the alarm. But sometimes, it jumps in fast and strong, hijacking our response before the prefrontal cortex (our thinking brain) can weigh in.
Here’s what I guide my clients to do:
1. Notice what your amygdala is saying
2. Thank it for trying to protect you
3. Make a plan using your wise mind
✨It’s not about shutting it down—it’s about staying in connection with both parts of the brain.
