376 | Let’s Talk Upstairs and Downstairs Brain

Listen Later

In this episode of our “Train Your Brain” series, we discuss the “upstairs” and “downstairs” of our brains. We unpack the functions of the frontal lobe (upstairs) and the limbic system (downstairs), what it looks like for these areas of our brains to be integrated, and why that integration matters.

Also, in this episode…

  • What’s actually happening in the brain when someone “flips their lid”
  • Strategies for building and reinforcing a metaphorical “staircase” between the upstairs and downstairs brain so they are more fully integrated

    •  

    Resource mentioned in this episode:

    The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel Siegel, M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.
