Emotional Intelligence 2.0 Pol Grek, Laura Grek — Excerpt — Emotional Intelligence 2.0 Amygdala, dopamine, shame — instead of “just calm down” “Just calm down” is the most useless advice a nervous system can get. The amygdala fires faster than thought. That isn’t weak character. It’s architecture. The question is how to regain control after the body already hit threat mode. STOP, RAIN, breath — tools, not therapy replacements. Shame and social dopamine need skills, not slogans. When the body is already in threat mode, architecture beats character lectures. — © Pol Grek / Пол Грэк Full text: Amazon and/or LitRes product pages linked from polgrek.site/en/ Educational sample only — not medical advice.
