BROKEN RECORD. NAGGING. BORING….
Ever been criticised by friends or family for coming back to the same point over and over again? It’s not your fault. There is a brain structure called the Anterior Cingulate Cortex which in its dorsal aspect is responsible for re-running the same programme over and over again.
The ACC is linked to the fear network in the brain too. So it's one of the reasons that women particularly get stuck in fear and depression, not being able to motivate themselves out of a situation for example abuse because their brains are literally stuck in the same programme.
Being aware of this though yoga, meditation and mindfulness enables the person to take action to change the situation.
