Did you know that when we name our feelings the activity in the amygdala decreases? My guest Sarah Peyton and I start today’s conversation with this topic. She mentions Matthew Liberman’s research
She talks about the panic-grief circuit of the mammalian brain and explains the phenomenon of alarmed aloneness.
Why she prefers the expression alarmed loneliness as opposed to separation anxiety and abandonment
Some key points:
- The signs of alarmed
aloneness
- Unconscious contracts what we make
with ourselves and how can we release ourselves from those harmful
agreements and live freely,
- The hippocampus and the amygdala in
forming traumatic memories
- How do we show up for other people
who show us that they need accompaniment? Of course our tendency is
to offer advice and solutions. We all yearn for accompaniment,
attunement, resonance.
- The difference between empathy and resonance
Sarah’s first book, Your Resonant Self, includes the foundational neuroscience concepts and client stories that help the reader pave a resonant practice path to self-compassion. Your Resonant Self Workbook builds onto the first book by adding the neuroscience of unconscious contracts, which supports an even deeper movement into self-warmth.
