"When you shut down emotion you're also affecting your #immunesystem , your #nervousSystem .
So the #repression of emotion,
which is a survival strategy, then becomes a source of physiological #illness later on."

Great #podcast on the #stress response and how to properly self-regulate your #NervousSystem. Hot tips for getting through life as a human.

Say or write the words #evolution & #god - people will heuristically associate that information within their personal experience.

#AssociatedLearning is psychologically real (beyond a reasonable doubt)

On hearing speech or reading words people will associate the words with the information they have access to.

Thoughts & emotions are the same physiological (negative & positive feedback loop) system. #NervousSystem

Who is right & who is wrong?

The ethical person is right

I’m taking days off for my #mentalhealth. People say not to take the workload & #stress personally, to detach from it all because you can only do your best. But it’s like having bears circling your house and being expected to get used to it. Our #nervoussystem cannot just switch off like that. If there is a source of stress, we will feel it until we dissociate. It’s wiser to find safety.
The most honourable thing to do is to honour my #wellbeing because that is when I bring my best to the world.

Haven’t done my #introduction yet. I’m a scientist @ Loyola NOLA in #neuroscience, but study a mixed bag. Major focus on #autism, #EhlersDanlos, & #FragileX but I also study genetics & have veered into the lane of #EvolutionaryBiology, investigating the roles of developmental regulatory & dosage-sensitive genes in macroevolutionary patterns in the fossil record (read: #punkeek). I’m less a rockhound & more a computer-hound. I’m also currently building a class on #NervousSystem #Evolution. 🧠

3/3

"Short-term exposure can have adverse physiological effects in the peripheral #nervousSystem, the #immuneSystem and the #cardiovascularSystem. The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (e.g., #melanoma), the eyes (e.g., #ocularMelanoma) and the testes (e.g., #sterility)."
