🧠In psychology, we study the structure and functions of the brain and nervous system.

✨At the same time, there are aspects of the mind that cannot be fully explained by biology alone.
This includes the realm of spirituality, the soul, personal experiences, and core values—what many people consider their true self.
In fact, psychologists like Monica McGoldrick have depicted the human being as 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲.
💾Our brain’s “hardware” includes inherited traits, such as processing speed and memory capacity—much like a computer’s CPU and RAM.

Research on the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) suggests that our genetic makeup can influence how we respond to stress and process emotions.
🇯🇵 🇨🇳 🇰🇷 East Asians:
Approximately 70–80% have a genetic makeup associated with heightened emotional sensitivity, which may contribute to greater empathy and a strong orientation toward social harmony.
🇪🇺 Europeans:
Around 40–45% carry the same type of genetic makeup, which may lead to a balanced stress response and relatively higher emotional resilience.
🌍 Africans:
Roughly 25–30% also carry this genetic variation, which may support adaptive stress responses and resilience.

That’s why revisiting foundational lifestyle habits is so important.
🐉But even after doing that, if anxiety remains strong, it may be due to dominance of the primitive brain (also known as the “lizard brain”).
🌬️In such cases, psychological techniques can help restore inner balance, such as:
🌀Hypnotherapy
🧘♂️Mindfulness
🌿Breath work
🧭NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
