The rational, executive brain is good at helping us understand where feelings come from. For example: &#8216;I get scared when I get too close to a man because my father abused me&#8217; or &#8216;I have trouble showing my love to my son because I feel guilty about killing a child in Iraq&#8217;. However, the rational brain cannot undo emotions, feelings or thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">If you live with a constant sense of threat in the background, or the belief that you are essentially a terrible person, it doesn&#8217;t help much if you know it&#8217;s not your fault you were raped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Understanding why you feel a certain way does not change how you feel. It may prevent you from giving in to extreme reactions (such as attacking your boss because he reminds you of a perpetrator, breaking up with your lover at the very first argument or falling into the arms of a stranger), but the more frenzied we feel, the more the rational brain gives way to our emotions<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/interaktiel.nl\/interaktiel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bessel_vd_Kolk_boek_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The more frenzied we feel, the more the rational brain gives way to our emotions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14531,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[622,635,634],"tags":[633,658,646,650,637,644,655,657,664],"class_list":["post-15039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book","category-mentally-stronger","category-technology","tag-balance","tag-burnout-en","tag-depression","tag-healing-en","tag-meaning","tag-psychology","tag-ptsd-en","tag-stress-en","tag-trauma-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
