How your brain learned fear, and how to teach it something betterBy Dr Ash ConnellRecorded TrackLength10h 49m
About this audiobook
There has already been a moment in your life when the noise stopped. You weren't managing anything and you weren't defending anything. You were just there, and being there turned out to be enough. Then it went.
Dr Ash Connell has spent nearly forty years with his hands on frightened bodies, and the last decade watching what is happening inside them on a screen. What he found is that fear doesn't stay in your head. It organises your body into a shape, and the shape reports back all day that the danger is still here. That loop is why insight alone never shifts it.
He counted five shapes. This book teaches you to read your own, then gives you the five things a brain needs to come out of survival mode: B is for blood flow, R for rest and recovery, A for antioxidants and nourishment, I for input, N for networks. Nothing is promised and nothing is cured. What you get is the mechanism, explained.
