問題詳情

Paint.Yesterday you had a hard day at work. As you were walking out of the office, a colleague approached you and started to attack the way you did things. You felt like your blood pressure had hit the roof. What the colleague said had pushed your buttons and you immediately replied with an equal amount of sarcasm and abuse, which made the situation worse. Before you knew it, you were involved in a verbal fight.In fact, what you experienced was an “amygdala hijack.” The amygdala is the “fight or flight” and emotional memory part of the brain. Its job is to protect you by comparing incoming data with emotional memories. An amygdala hijack happens when you respond excessively to the actual threat because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat. When you experience an amygdala hijack, the amygdala overtakes the cerebrum (the thinking part of the brain) and you lose the ability to reason logically. The immediate result of a hijack is a decrease in working memory. Adrenaline is released and will be present and effective for 18 minutes, and other hormones are released into the bloodstream that will take 3 to 4 hours to clear.The simple 4 steps to reduce the chance of an amygdala hijack are SOAP:(1) Stop. Stop whatever you’re doing. Ask yourself what just happened. Replace your thoughts with positive ones. This step keeps the neocortex, a part of the brain, engaged and can prevent the amygdala’s takeover.(2) Oxygenate. Breathe deeply, with intention and purpose.(3) Appreciate. While it’s especially effective to appreciate the source of the hijack (i.e. appreciating the colleague is concerned about your job), any appreciation of anything will be helpful. If you can’t appreciate the person who is the source of the conflict, appreciate parts of your own life, such as your family and friends.(4) Ponder. After the hijack, spend some time exploring what happened and why. Recognizing the trigger will allow you to avoid being triggered in the future.
