Who's in charge in the emotions department? The amygdala is the brain's specialist in emotions. It is involved in the formation of emotions, including such strong ones as fear, anger, and also gives an emotional coloring to incoming information. Emotions seem to accompany our activities. Scientists have discovered a woman who does not experience fear due to damage to the amygdala due to illness. She was shown terrifying snakes and spiders at close range, her life was put in danger, she was shown a number of horror films, and she was placed in a fear room. However, the woman showed no signs of fear and only felt curiosity. She put herself in danger; one might say that her instinct of self-preservation was violated. The question arises: is it safe to be fearless? From this study, we can assume the following conclusion: our emotions are our internal compass that helps us navigate life. Indeed, if we catch ourselves feeling angry at some particular moment, we should stop and look around. What is happening now that I'm starting to get angry? The answer will not be long in coming. Perhaps your boundaries are now being violated, or perhaps someone is now encroaching on your self-esteem, or perhaps your life is in danger. Feelings are signals about what our needs are. For example, disgust signals the need to move away, affection signals the desire to get closer, and sadness may hide the need for solitude. When we are aware of the situation around us and establish a cause-and-effect relationship between emotion and reality, time appears to better scan the current situation and choose appropriate behavior. Only with awareness of emotions can we get the key to managing our emotions. The skill of distinguishing emotions will help us with this. It is necessary to develop the ability not to simplify complex experiences into simple ones. It is true that anger can roll over us like an avalanche, but even in this huge and strong flow, there is a place for other experiences, it is important to identify them.
