In response to a family member’s recent illness, I have been reading My Stoke of Insight, by Dr. Jill Taylor. Dr. Taylor suffered a severe stroke, and after a long and challenging recovery, she wrote My Stroke of Insight to tell her story and share what she had learned about herself and about the brain. The book is not about addiction (although it is noteworthy that Dr. Taylor served on the board of directors for the National Alliance on Mental Illness), but it contains a wonderful introduction Read more [...]

Now that we have discussed the reptilian brain, it is time to become more familiar with the emotional brain.
As you probably remember, the reptilian brain does not have the ability to learn. Therefore, it will continue to do the same thing over and over again, no matter what the previous experience might have been.
