On our journey to becoming trauma-aware, we need to first learn something about the (healthy) emotional system. Sure, this is a physiology-heavy episode, but it comes with my brand of weird references and analogies that (hopefully) help make it not-such-a-snoozefest. This episode is broken down into three main sections:

  1. The peripheral autonomic nervous system
  2. The mid-brain structures involved in our limbic system
  3. The higher cortical areas in our limbic system 

    4. Visual Resources:

    • Autonomic nervous system
      • Vagus nerve visual
      • Mid-brain structures:
        • The hippocampus
        • The amygdala
        • The hypothalamus
        • Higher cortical structures:
          • Anterior cingulate cortex
          • Insula
