🔇 SPEAK DIRECT to our specialists and experts at https://experts.wisemind.com • In this session, Jennifer Sweeton discusses the critical role of the insula in emotional regulation and its connections within the limbic system, highlighting its dysfunction in trauma, anxiety, and depression. An underactive insula in depression leads to vague emotional awareness, while overactivity in panic attacks amplifies physical sensations like a racing heart, creating catastrophic interpretations. The insula processes sensory input via the thalamus, integrating it with core affect and assigning emotional meaning with help from the anterior cingulate. Sweeton emphasises insula-based therapy to address emotional disorders, focusing on self-regulation and cognitive approaches to recalibrate physical and emotional responses effectively. • 🧠 Unlock premium mental health resources with our 7-day free trial - start enhancing your practice today at https://wisemind.com/
