How the brain processes emotions? The information captured by the senses we received and transferred into two channels, those are the emotions regulator (the amygdala) and the thinking part (the neocortex). Interestingly, the process of information to the amygdala takes faster than the process to the neocortex. When we feel a very strong emotion, the amygdala will soon take over our brain and take action to escape, fighting or sculpting. Consequently, the neocortex didn’t get work and we cannot access the information with rational. This process named ‘the amygdala piracy’ by Daniel Goleman. This is the reason why we often regret when we did some acts or took decision at our intense emotion.


Therefore, when we are in the condition that may trigs the intense emotions, then stop. Give time to our brain to think. One of the emotion management technique states to stop doing anything for 6 seconds to give enough time to make amygdala stop pirate our thinking brain.
