  • How does the survival brain get in the way of us responding from a rational creative way?
  • What does our emotional limbic brain do when threatened?
  • How can we activate more of our reasoning : prefrontal cortex?
  • A lot of times we think we are logical when in fact we are driven by the emotional brain. This happens subconsciously or unconsciously.
