It's the biological reality of their prefrontal cortex, which is the emotional and behavioral management center of the brain is not fully developed until you are 25 years old.

He said, woo.

Absolutely.

We call that an amygdala.

Your amygdala.

Yeah, your amygdala is like the watchdog of the brain.

So it's the thing that keeps you alive.

And so if there is something that startles you, your startle response.

It might, or it's fight, flight, or freeze are the typical responses whenever your amygdala is triggered.

Thank you.

I mean, I don't think so.

It's fight, flight, or freeze.

And the newest one that they're talking about now is fawn.

Fawn is where... I just went to a training and they described it as a combination of all three.

But it's like...

How can I get you to love me instead of threaten me?

So think about if a kid's getting bullied at school and they can't fight them, they can't run away because they go to that school and, you know, freezing doesn't do anything.

Well, maybe I'll become like the bully.

Maybe I'll make jokes about myself.

So he won't make.
