Understanding the brain is key to recovery following emotional and psychological trauma following a relationship with a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath. Healing the brain and learning to manage it is super important.
Ever wondered why your brain seems to go haywire after a toxic relationship? In this episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, host Prajinta Pesqueda breaks down the science behind the chaos. Aptly titled 'Lizard Brain and Monkey Madness', this episode dives into how emotional and psychological trauma from relationships with narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths can wreak havoc on your brain.
Prajinta explains the roles of the reptilian brain, which is all about survival and quick reactions, and the monkey brain, which deals with emotions like envy and shame. Understanding these parts of your brain is crucial for managing them effectively. Prajinta shares practical tips to keep these primal parts of your brain in check, such as staying present in the moment and engaging in physical activities.
She also highlights the importance of nourishing your parasympathetic nervous system, which helps you relax and recover. By focusing on these strategies, you can start using your human brain—the part responsible for higher thinking—more often, paving the way for a smoother recovery journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand their brain better and take control of their healing process.
