Why we have emotions

• The REPTILIAN brain has the sole purpose of survival.
• LIMBIC system – instincts, emotions, ambition, memory.
• NEOCORTEX (new brain) – the seat of knowledge, logic, reason, and language.
• The PREFRONTAL cortex is associated with higher functions, individuality, self-awareness, and creativity.

Emotions help us to mobilize, to act, to make decisions, to avoid dangers, to survive and to prosper, to understand others.

Strong emotions can have a negative impact on us: anger = we are aggressive

• shame = avoid;
• sadness = we isolate ourselves;
• anger = we are aggressive.
