Think about a time you worked with someone (or perhaps a moment in your own life) where a behavior looked like "bad attitude" or "laziness," but was actually a neurobiological survival response. 1. What was the behavior? (e.g., forgetting a simple task, sudden anger, staring into space). 2. Knowing what you know now about the "Biological TBI," how would you change your response to that person today? Post your thoughts below. Let’s start re-writing the narrative together. 👇 #Neurobiology #TraumaResponsive #TheCEOIsOffline #HealingCentered

When someone is triggered, their Prefrontal Cortex (The CEO) literally loses power. You cannot "reason" with a brain that has its "power cut." You can’t ask the CEO for a strategic plan when the CEO isn't even in the building. If we want to help survivors heal, we have to stop talking to the "CEO" and start soothing the "Security Guard" (The Amygdala).

In this TEDxMileHigh talk, Dr. Kim Gorgens discusses the high prevalence of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) within the criminal justice system and how a neurodevelopmental approach can break the "revolving door" of incarceration.
