How to be less inappropriately reactive, and instead to respond in a way that is more likely to result in the desired outcome.

In Part 1 we looked at some perception traps/ cognitive distortions. In this second part, we look at emotions.

Emotional thinking and being reactive are often inextricably connected. To be aware of and avoid falling into perception traps, it is best to stay clear of highly emotionally charged states. I present a version of what is sometimes called the triune brain model.

It is not neurologically accurate in the sense that the functionality, connectivity and layout are not as they are in reality. What is displayed is simply there to aid the concept being discussed.

Also this is not intended to replace the need to seek professional help for issues such as Emotional dysregulation. However, considering our own thinking in this way and practising 'affect labelling' may be useful for you.
