Jaak Panksepp's Seven Primal Emotional Networks & Healing Childhood Wounds with Emotional Processing

• Patricia Worby, PhD

Why are emotions not the same as feelings? They are related but not the same - we can't change the emotions that arise (they're physiological but we can change the feelings associated with they are created in our brains.
 
They are an interpretation of our inner world and show up in terms of symptoms of depression and anxiety. Today, I explain the groundbreaking work of Jaak Panksepp and his definitive understanding of the different networks in your brain that can become unbalanced causing problems in your experience of life.
 
His work on mapping the seven neural networks the subconscious mind forever changed the way we see conditions such as longterm depression as a failure of the CARE network for instance or ADHD as an imbalance in the SEEKING network - this understanding enables you to take charge of your health rather than relying on medications and 'experts'.

00:00 Intro
01:20 Animal and human brains compared - primal emotions very similar but affective feelings very different depending on childhood experience and nurturance
03:45 parenting limitations - sometimes unintended consequences - how child receives is not always how parent intends
04:48 SEEKING system - finding relief. Neurological inbalance leads to addictions. Endogenous vs. exogenous chemicals especially opioids. Touch/being held is a useful remediation. Meeting your needs visualisation also helpful to boost a sense of belonging.
08:55 RAGE system - part of normal childhood experience when emotional needs are not met. Comes out in head, neck and jaw issues and unaccountable anger. Allowing the awareness of rage
10:56 FEAR system - drives anxiety has to be soothed via touch and connection
11:37 LUST system - natural drive but can be repressed (asexuality) or over-expressed (sex-addiction).
12:15 CARE system - being tender and loving. Altruistic tendency - much degraded in modern society, particularly via the competitiveness espoused via Darwinism.
14:00 PANIC system - over-expressed as longterm depression. Can be relieved via deep brain stimulation, ketamine, and psychedelics.
15:37 PLAY system - natural in children and young animals. Reverses loneliness and promotes creativity, imagination via metaphor, story.
17:00 Final words.
