Rethinking Emotions, Fear and the Limbic System! - Dr. Ledoux

This week we are joined by the esteemed Dr. Joseph LeDoux. He has produced some amazing work, with a healthy perspective on the brain and its functions! In this episode we discussed the amygdala, as not being the 'fear center' of the brain. We also touched on emotions not existing independently of cognition.

We discussed trauma, diagnoses, labels, etc. We discussed the history of some prominent treatments for mental health. Lastly we discussed the fallacies of the limbic system and everything wrong with it! We also touched on the importance of history and philosophy.

I hope you enjoy the episode!
