Our Original Brain In Modern Life: Recent Episodes
Gwen Sperling
Our original brain is pre-set to survive. The pre-set comes from the lower half of the brain; the stuff between our ears, the brain stem and spinal cord. I call this the original brain. It's driven to survive, which leads to humans being reactive and behaving without the thought. This, inevitably leads to great suffering. It does not have to be that way. Come with me as I review the brain, our behavior and how we can change. Please visit my Website: www.gwensanimalandhumantherapy.com and/or Blog: ouroriginalbraininmodernlife.blog
In this podcast:
I will discuss basic human emotional needs and the intersection with culture.
Genetics: Structure determines function.
Where emotions originate: The limbic system and the HPA axis.
The lobes of the brain.
How we can find peace in life.
Please join me as I discuss why I think we do as we do and how we can ALL do differently.
Change is difficult, at times it is very difficult and it can seem impossible, but WE change. Our brain drives us BUT plasticity rules! If we can dip into our courage, find our willingness, then pay attention to your body, learn to ignore your mind; we can tap into the infinite love, wisdom and power of our spirit guided by our Pineal gland, the window of our intuition.

In this podcast I will describe the anatomy of the limbic system; our emotional system, the driver of our original brain and how we are reactive. Our evolution from Ape to human, the species commonalities and differences. What does this evolution and difference mean.
Change is difficult, at times it is very difficult and it can seem impossible, but change can happen. Often what we need is some empathic understanding, information that can promote insight and sometimes a little of the hardest thing of all, willingness.
