Stoicism and the Prefrontal Cortex: The Psychiatry of Control | Ep 69

from No-Nonsense Psychiatry Practical Mental Health Lets Talk Together · host markjohnskay

Long before CBT, there was Stoicism. In this episode of No Nonsense Psychiatry, we look at the Locus of Control—the clinical term for the Stoic "Dichotomy of Control." We examine how focusing on what we can influence down-regulates the Amygdala and prevents "Learned Helplessness." We provide three actionable reasons why ancient wisdom is actually a high-level manual for Emotional Regulation in the 21st century.
