A super podcast from Australia’s All in the Mind with Dr Kerr confirming what I wrote about a few years ago that relationships provide the brain with a boost of “feel good” hormones. But of course, it has to be the right relationship.
Her report is full of exciting material – empathy reduces short termism and relationships offer the possibility of increasing the ability of “mind reading” in others through the boost in oxytocin. The report isn’t as well referenced to satisfy me, but a great read regardless.
She observes that professionals (and others) have the opportunity to calm other people’s stressed brains (via the amygdala) using mirror neurons; so that anxious people become calm. What isn’t explained is whether it can also happen the other way: if others are anxious why don’t we just become anxious. Must look into that.
