Brain neurology now confirms that the pathway from the cognitive brain center to the center for emotions is like an old 2-laner, whereas the pathway from this primitive emotion center to the body’s nervous system is like a 15-lane superhighway. What that means is that cognitive self-counselling can get overwhelmed by the reactions of the emotional center. If born with an overactive emotional center, only alterations to the brain chemistry can help combat the excesses of the emotion center.
Coping by distraction seems like a bad strategy.. It’s fleeing from the stress-factor rather than dealing with it and relating to it in a more healthy way.. a better strategy is not to fight it or flee from it, but rather realise it is just an emotion that is not harmful in itself.. it’s your response, or unhealthy way of relating to it that is harmfull.
