This is my thinking, on a really deep level we gravitate towards an understanding of the dangerous and the savage.
Iâm sure there are folks on here better able to explain the #psychology or #neuroscience behind this. Likely something to do with our #amygdala đ
All that said, itâs important to be aware of this tendency so we can counter its influence to consume a more balanced #news diet

#Neurowissenschaft #Amygdala - Von wegen Angstzentrale - "Die Idee des Angstzentrums taucht in zahllosen Abhandlungen und BĂŒchern auf, aber auch in Romanen, TheaterstĂŒcken, Filmen und Liedern sowie in populĂ€ren Schriften darĂŒber, wie man seine Ăngste zĂ€hmen, als BörsenhĂ€ndler erfolgreich sein und ein glĂŒcklicheres Leben fĂŒhren kann. Es ist nichts weniger als ein kulturelles Meme" Joseph LeDoux - Interessanter Beitrag von Jan Schwenkenbecher, in: Gehirn&Geist 9/2023, S. 68-73 - ⏠https://www.spektrum.de/inhaltsverzeichnis/neugier-wie-sie-entsteht-und-wann-sie-uns-ueberfordert-g-und-g-9-23/2099361
Psychology and neuroscience have advanced our understanding of emotions, which are complex states involving feelings, physiology, and behavior. The amygdala processes fear and other negative emotions, while the prefrontal cortex regulates emotions and decision-making. Emotions can also shape neural connections and impact brain plasticity. #Emotions #Psychology #Neuroscience #Amygdala #PrefrontalCortex #MentalHealth #Behavior #BrainPlasticity #Research

Tattaa: #Amygdala
Gestern fertig abgemischt ... besser kann ichÂŽs nicht.
Ich möchte den Titel Walter #Moers und der #Prinzessin #Insomnia widmen.
Dem wohl besten und tröstlichsten Fachbuch zum Thema #Depression

Was macht RĂŒckkehr aus dem tiefen Loch so schwer? #Scham + #Selbstabwertung wg. #Flashback, #Angst, ob man wieder akzeptiert wird, ob #Beziehung das - nochmal - ausgehalten hat.
Und: sehr langsamer Abbau #Erregungsniveau / #Stresshormone wg. VerÀnderung #Amygdala.
Mein GlĂŒck: meine Frau reagiert nicht auf mein #Verhalten, sondern auf die #Verzweiflung dahinter. So kann sie schnell Hand reichen + ich mittlerweile schneller annehmen. Sehr erleichternd, wenn es gelingt.

@DocCheck #PTBS #kPTBS Die Nachricht triggert den Traum, die ganze #Qual, diesen ĂŒbermĂ€chtigen #Fluchtreflex zu entmachten, einfach an ein #Medikament zu delegieren. Nachgewiesen ist VerĂ€nderung der #Amygdala durch psychischen #Dauerstress, da wĂ€re #Ausgleichspille nur fair. Aber: #Ritalingabe bei spĂ€t diagnostiziertem #ADHS macht #Psychotherapie auch nicht entbehrlich, weil #Verhalten lang eingeschliffen. Trotzdem: Lichtblick - vielleicht.

Die Selbst-Diagnose war zunĂ€chst befreiend + ermutigend. Vieles wurde erklĂ€rbar(er): die #Ausraster, der extrem langsame Abbau von #psychischem #Stress aufgrund VerĂ€nderung der #Amygdala. Meine Frau - Weltmeisterin der Recherche - fand gute BĂŒcher: #Verkörperter_Schrecken von #Bessel_van_der_Kolk etwa, das viel Grundwissen vermittelt. Oder #Pete_Walker #Vom_Ăberleben_zu_neuem_Leben. Authentisch, aber fĂŒr mich nur in kleinen Dosen ertrĂ€glich.

Isnât 1 #socialmedia site enough? Isnât #mastodon enough? Less pixel engagement is better for the #nervousSystem, after all, it causes us to crave dopamine (likes/follows), leading to MORE screen time. It is a constant tigger of #Amygdala activation (fight,flight,fright) making us MORE #anxious & #depressed. Ask yourself, what else might you do w your time? You are more than your social media world. Find YOUR #truth. Log off 30-60 min before bed. Step into nature. #Connect in real life. đ

This cool looking paper in #jneuro finds that #attention capture for #innate stimuli depends on the #amygdala, but not for learned stimuli:
Attention to Stimuli of Learned versus Innate Biological Value Relies on Separate Neural Systems https://www.jneurosci.org/content/42/49/9242

@peterakirk Use more #hashtags to get eyes on and engagement Peter.
#Anxiety #Amygdala #Movies would all increase engagement with the post I am responding to .. I happen to have an interest, and I happened to see it fly by on the Global feed. If I hadn't been online right now I'd have missed it.
Also #Mastodon has no global word search, except for #hashtags so that's an important difference to other #SocialMedia
#hashtags #anxiety #Amygdala #movies #mastodon #socialmedia
So Neuro folks. We probably need to decide on some core hashtags to help us follow papers and important news. What do you think?

@markhenick I explain to clients that in panic, the mind tries to process sensory input from the brain until the amygdala highjacks the entire system and takes over the body. Three components: brain, mind, body all grappling for control resulting in terror/panic and sensory chaos. #Anxiety #SomaticExperience #Amygdala #Therapy #fightorflight
