Ever wondered why you freeze in a moment of panic or how your body instinctively chooses fight or flight? Discover the intricate dance between the amygdala and the sympathetic nervous system, and learn how these primal reactions have been hardwired for survival. Gain insights into why that often-dismissed freeze response might be your best ally in certain situations. Plus, explore how you can consciously redirect your brain activity to the prefrontal cortex to maintain calm and clarity when fear threatens to take over.
In today's fast-paced world, managing stress and maintaining logical thinking is more crucial than ever. Jack emphasizes the need for strategic training to keep the prefrontal cortex functioning during high-pressure moments.
