When we are very young, the social signals we are receiving from others have the potential to be life-depleting, life-threatening or life-sustaining. The importance we put on these social cues stays with us and can make them feel more urgent and meaningful than they actually are. In this episode, we look at how to to become a more mature self-regulator so that we can be less vulnerable to the insecurities and dysregulation of others. This is Episode 5, Season 3 of the Mindset Neuroscience Podcast. You can listen to all the episodes on iTunes, Spotify and stefaniefaye.com
Signal flow relates to authentic understanding of ourselves and others. Signal suppression may cause us to have difficulties in expressing ourselves and tuning in to what we need or want to say. By improving 'signal flow', we increase the potential for self-regulation and communication.
You can use communication to create more of your desired future, or to repeat problems from your past. How you communicate is based on a variety of mental models and predictive algorithms. You can improve how you use communication by updating these algorithms. This will help you experiment and get better at saying what you really want to say... to express your needs, your future vision, your desires in ways that get closer and closer to how you feel and what you want to create in your life. This is one of the topics covered in my book - but with a lot more science in it! It will be published the summer of 2023.

When we put ourselves into new situations, where we can't rely on our automated, habitual ways of making decisions, we activate new and complex circuitry that can help us get better at dealing with life's challenges. One way to do this is to enter learning environments that have unpredictability and variability. This episode will be posted next week Go to iTunes, Spotify or my website stefaniefaye.com/podcast to listen and subscribe.
Do you find yourself getting into very repetitive types of arguments, disagreements or shutdowns when you have challenges in daily life and within your relationships? In this video, you'll learn: -3 specific things you need to gain mastery over your nervous system responses -how to avoid being rigid or repetitive in your reactions to challenges and situations -one particular practice that can help you access your most mature brain circuitry within your interactions and relationships
Sometimes our issues with getting stuck in negative thinking and negative emotions is due to a lack of skills related to delayed gratification. In this video you'll learn how to use cool and hot focus as ways to lower stressful emotions as well as engage in healthier habits for personal and relationship growth.
By not understanding the deeper roots of our wounds, we can get stuck in behaviors that prevent us from feeling the sense of connection we ache for, and the fulfillment and autonomy we also seek in our lives. The more we understand these roots, the more we can find ways to disentangle from them. In this video, I cover: - How attachment wounds relate to our power to have independence when we want it and intimacy when we want it - How feeling trapped or abandoned affects your negativity bias towards yourself and others - How to activate new circuits to balance out attachment-wound behavior *please note that the suggestions and exercises offered in this video are not offered as a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care and are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any mental health or medical conditions.
Managing Emotions and Stress: it’s about Range, Repertoire and Awareness A wider range and repertoire of strategies to up-regulate or down-regulate emotions is generally associated with resilience, adjustment and overall health. Awareness of attachment science can help us know how to increase this range of behaviors and reactions in response to others.

A preview of an exploration into the beauty and intelligence of the machinery of the human body - and how we use it to communicate, create, comfort, heal, adapt and complexify.
Anxious thinking is associated with fast brainwaves. The more relaxed you are, the slower your brainwave activity. In this video I show you how to slow your brainwaves so you can access a more relaxed state. I also go into: -what technology does to your brainwaves -the power of stillness and -how meditation influences brain activity (This is the IG version of a video I posted last year on anxiety)
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” -Khalil Gibran Is it possible to take a painful and negative event from our past, and 're-purpose' it to become an empowering feature of our story, of our identity? The process of re-organizing neural circuits to integrate a negative past event into a more complex and mature perspective is tied to cognitive flexibility. This flexibility is a major aspect of the healing process for moral injury. What is Moral Injury? A definition by Jonathan Shay is that moral injury occurs when there is a: "a betrayal of ‘what’s right’, either by a person in authority, or oneself, and in a high stakes situation." Exploring Moral injury gives us a chance to understand what really matters to us. It helps us clarify our values as a socially connected species. the healing process for moral injury shows us how to take negative painful events and emotions and turn them into a force for good. I go in depth into this in today’s podcast episode, including how: - forgiveness and flexibility help us activate highly sophisticated and evolved neural mechanisms -The mechanism of morality improves energy efficiency and resilience of a system -The human species is an interconnected network of nodes that requires social signaling for trust and cooperation -brain activations are different in trauma compared with moral injury Listen on Spotify, iTunes, blubrry and other platforms #mindset #moralinjury #mental-health #neuroscience #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters
