Intellectual vs. Emotional Level of Function - Ep336
Episode 336
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
In this episode of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we explore the fascinating tension between your intellectual and emotional levels of function—and why stress, anxiety, and modern life so often knock these systems out of balance. Building on insights from Episode 27 ("Trust Your Gut or Use Your Head"), we ask how clearly you can think when your emotions are dysregulated, whether your head or heart leads under pressure, and what it really means to function at a high level. We break down the neuropsychology behind the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, how brain fog shows up in anxiety, depression, aging, and even holiday stress, and why today's tech-driven world pushes us into emotional reactivity. Finally, we offer practical ways to reconnect thought and feeling—pausing to reflect, naming emotions, building resiliency, and strengthening that vital bridge between logic and emotion. Tune in to see Intellectual vs. Emotional Level of Function Through a Therapist's Eyes.
