So then why are you feeling overwhelmed by stress? Well, it may
be for one of the following reasons:
• You have an overactive amygdala.
• There’s a problem in communication between your prefrontal
cortex and your amygdala.
• Your prefrontal cortex isn’t functioning properly.
• Your prefrontal cortex doesn’t have the right information
from past experience to calm things down.
• You grew up in chaotic circumstances or faced problems that
you were helpless to change, such as an addicted, neglectful,
or depressed parent; family violence; or poverty.
• As the result of a string of disappointments and failures, you
have automatic negative expectations, a feeling that the world
isn’t safe or supportive, lack of trust in other people to help
you, or lack of self-confidence.
