When
an individual lacks the ability to manage emotions, they may either become
highly reactive when feelings are triggered or fail to grasp the importance of
engaging the Thinking Brain in decision-making.
Being
emotionally dependent isn't inherently negative, but it can become limiting if
it leads to impulsive decisions or a lack of objectivity in critical
situations.
Those
who haven’t developed strong emotional regulation skills may find it
challenging to balance emotions with rational thought. Without the ability to
manage or compartmentalize feelings, emotions take control.
The
distinction between the Thinking Brain and the Feeling Brain highlights two
essential aspects of human cognition: rationality and emotion. The Thinking
Brain, often associated with the prefrontal cortex, is responsible for logical
reasoning, problem-solving, and long-term planning. It processes information
analytically, enabling individuals to make decisions based on facts and
evidence rather than immediate emotional responses (Damasio, 1994).
On
the other hand, the Feeling Brain, linked to the limbic system, especially the
amygdala, governs emotional responses and instincts. It often reacts quickly,
driven by desires and fears, without considering long-term consequences
(LeDoux, 2000).
While
both systems have their unique roles, a balance between the two is crucial for
sound decision-making, as over-reliance on either can lead to undesirable
outcomes. Excessive rationality might result in emotional detachment, while
emotional dominance can lead to impulsive actions (Kahneman, 2011).
Both
parts of the brain play essential roles, but many of our life's struggles arise
from the Feeling Brain's dominance. We are inherently emotional creatures, and
the Feeling Brain is the driver behind most of our decisions, while the
Thinking Brain often tries to rationalize or justify those emotions afterward.
While
we can't eliminate the influence of the Feeling Brain, we can learn to guide it
by developing greater self-awareness and setting values that align with our
goals.
People
need to acknowledge the power of emotions but not be enslaved by them.
There
will always be conflicts among our daily interactions when everything is
governed by what we feel. Most of the time, we have to be objective in dealing
with the things we are facing.
Otherwise,
we will find ourselves perpetually burdened with feelings of discouragement and
exhaustion.
