Start to trigger your fear of abandonment.

Boss said that they want to talk to you this Friday, activate depression, start to feel bad about yourself, start to feel bad about yourself, start to dread it, right?

Do you guys understand how this stimulus, boss says, hey, I want to talk to you, triggers a certain pattern in your brain.

And where did that pattern come from?

It came from your emotions being allowed to run buck wild without any kind of control, regulation, or intention.

What is emotional processing?

Emotional processing is regulating that emotion, turning off that emotional circuitry in a way that does not harmfully alter the architecture of your brain.

It is saying, okay, so here's an example.

Let's say I get dumped.

And if I let that emotion run wild, what's going to happen is that it'll create all kinds of changes in my brain.

I'm going to become a black pillar.

I'm going to become an insular.

literally the next time I see a woman, I will be triggered with all kinds of thoughts.

Do you all understand that all those triggers mean that certain neurons are like turning on?

And how did those neurons get wired to turn on, do that at stimulus?

It's because there was an emotion that was allowed to just run wild and make alterations in the brain however the fuck it wants to.

So emotional processing is preventing that process.

It is allowing the emotion to exist and

Getting rid of the emotion without those alterations, without those permanent alterations.

And permanent alterations can be permanently altered down the road, so it's not like you're screwed forever.
