The amygdala, located in the limbic system, alerts in case of danger by sending an alarm throughout the body in response to a threat (Fishbane, 2007, p. 397). The limbic system, and particularly the right hemisphere of the amygdala, creates meaning through experiences. Our earliest "implicit" memories are created by various motor functions, such as body movements, and by emotions (another important function of the amygdala), and this directly correlates with our perception of emotions and possible danger , our “fight or flight” instinct. responses (Badenoch and Cox, 2010). This mechanism often leads to suffering in human relationships when one feels threatened on an interpersonal level. This interplay between the fight or flight response gives rise to a paradox: “being wired for both connection and self-protection” (Fishbane, 2007, p. 397). Human emotions “involve connections between multiple brain circuits” and are typically “processed subcortically, below conscious awareness” (Fishbane, 2007, p..
