When Emotions Take Over

What happens in the brain when emotions take over? In this episode, we explore the science behind emotional outbursts, those moments when anger, fear, frustration or distress seem to outrun reason. Far from being a simple loss of control, these experiences reveal the deep conversation between the emotional brain, the survival system and the thinking mind. Through the lens of neuroscience and human behaviour, this conversation reflects on why we react before we reflect, how the brain reads threat, and what it takes to move from emotional hijack to emotional understanding. A thoughtful journey into the mind’s storms, and the possibility of finding clarity after the wave has passed. Listen now to understand your emotional brain, and the quiet science of returning to yourself.
