Dan Siegel - 'Flipping Your Lid:' A Scientific Explanation

[JohnBurik]

Video was clipped early. The nine functions of the "upstairs brain" are: Bodily Regulation, 
Attuned Communication, Emotion Regulation, 
Response Flexibility, 
Fear Modulation, 
Insight, 
Empathy, 
Morality, and 
Intuition (MOL 201, 2010 [class slides]).

I have read everything I can find written by Dan Siegel. As a special education teacher. I practice Dr. Siegel's strategies every

the marshmallow experiment was about delayed gratification and it turned out to be mostly defined by socioeconomic background: those raised in a safe environment had made the experience that promises are kept while those in more challenging circumstances had to take care of themselves and secure everything at stake immediately. Nonetheless delayed gratification is an faculty of the neocortex (commencing delay and the imaginary gain) while gratification at last is facilitated through the limbic system (Ncl. accumbens). Dan Siegel explained the equilibrium very well - I am just concerned that the reptilian brain often is portrayed as singular negative.Because it's not, it's the home of senses and all experienced emotions including joy while the neocortex is able to think of joy or ways to get there - but then again for the experience the limbic system itself is needed.

Great metaphor for kids to understand, too, the upstairs/downstairs brain.

How do I transfer this into other people's mind?

I have a question. Is the lid always flipped in a child's brain? oBecause prefrontal cortex completed its development 25-30 ages.

Some thoughts:
* If you have a set of behaviours that you engage in instead of "flipping your lead" the lid flipping will be less bad.

I wonder if there is there is a similar reaction when the "downstairs brain" is triggered by pictures of suffering of sentient beings and the ability to empathize and develop a constructive response goes offline.

he's doing a great job talking over the woman he's speaking with lol

As a neuroscience student, this is so oversimplified it makes me cringe. As soon as I saw he was a psychiatrist it all made sense.
