Stress & The BrainThis article is about what goes on in the brain when we become stressed and what can be done about it. Don’t worry; we are not going to have a biochemistry lesson so keep reading!
Simply put, there are three sections of the brain; the hindbrain, the Mid brain and the Frontal Lobe. If we look very generally at these areas we get a real insight into stress and how to diffuse it.
The Frontal lobe is where all our logical processing happens. It functions best when we are not stressed. In fact when the stress response is in full swing, resources from this area of the brain are diverted to areas of the body involved in the flight or fight response such as the large muscle groups of the body. This may be one reason why logic goes out the window when we are in life or death situations. This area of the brain could be described as having the ‘personality’ of a primate.
The Mid brain has a different personality entirely. You could say it is like a ‘dog’ or ‘cat’, always aware of its surroundings. It is our ‘anxiety’ or ‘hyper vigilance’ area and plays a huge role in the flight or fight response. Ever alert for danger this part of the brain is supplying us with the ‘flight’ route out of a situation.
The hindbrain is like the snake or lizard section of the brain and is all about survival. It is the
‘fight’ portion of the flight or fight response and in extreme situations will prompt responses to get us out of danger.
So what does all this mean? If you are not stressed your frontal lobe or cognitive area is capable of ‘thinking’ your way out of problems rationally and systematically. This is where we would all like to be when learning and applying new information or when we have to find solutions to problems. This may also be why some people work best by putting aside complex problems. They rest and wake up the next day with a solution!
If you are anxious and on alert, like a dog or a cat you could calm yourself down with soothing physical contact such as massage or a hug! These ‘physical’ experiences speak directly to the part of the brain that is in charge of anxiety and gives it soothing signals to calm down. Once
