Huberman Lab · Tools to Bolster Your Mental Health & Confidence | Dr. Paul Conti · 4 May 2026 podcast

So as I found myself saying many times, you know, you can say that was then, this is now, but your limbic system doesn't care, right?

And our limbic system are the emotion systems in us.

So we can say, well, the past is in the past, right?

So I'm going to put it in the past.

We can say that, but we're saying that through logical mechanisms in us.

So if there's logical mechanisms and limbic or motion mechanisms, it's a simplification, but we can look at the brain that way and say, well, the logic mechanisms are telling me that and are declaring that it's true because the clock says that it's in the past.

But the limbic, the emotion systems have a very different reality.

They don't see it that way.

They don't know that there's a clock or the calendar.

So it's not that that was then, this is now.

A trigger in the now can make then now.

So we want to be aware of the emotions that are going on inside of us and the strong emotional states that we can get into.

into, because they're telling us something.

If something happens just in going through life and something that might even seem small from the outside, but I'm triggered or I'm cued in a way to be in a very deep emotional state of fear or vulnerability, like, and I can map that to like I felt when X happened or like I felt 20 years ago when this happened.

That's telling me something.

It's telling me time is not like a steel rod going in one direction.

That's the logic systems.

In the limbic systems, it's like a string.

And something just made me feel right now exactly the way it took the string from now to this thing that happened, say, 10 years ago, and it put the two parts of the string together.

That's real.
