Seven primal emotional systems that evoke emotional behaviours and produce affective experiences. These are hard wired and are either rewarding or aversive. They influence our memories, thinking, feelings and actions. Simulating 'seeking/Care' will counteract 'Fear/Panic.

Previous work has shown that, under identical stress conditions, teens show greater cortisol release than adults."

]]> 2020-03-12 10:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/georgina_greaves/ForestSchoolPublicHealth/wish/459030365 The impact of cortisol on children georgina_greaves https://padlet.com/georgina_greaves/ForestSchoolPublicHealth/wish/459031492 Article below: "Is there any hormone link to high-risk choices in teenagers? It is likely not to be testosterone, at least not initially, but the stress hormone, cortisol which returns us to deprivation. Stress during early life raises cortisol levels, so increasing behavioural problems (such as hyperactivity), tending to make children more aggressive, less affiliative and more likely to perceive others as threatening. Stress in either pregnancy or in early life permanently resets the stress response of the child, so that there is an increased reaction to stress - it's called hyperarousal. A stressed child, for instance, when meeting someone new (even in a familiar environment) will withdraw and refuse to make eye contact, rather than chat happily. This increased stress response plays out in reduced life expectancies because cortisol affects almost every body system. It is also closely linked with depressive illness in later life."

What does cortisol do? It’s best known for helping fuel your body’s “fight-or-flight” instinct in a crisis, but cortisol plays an important role in a number of things your body does. For example, it:
* Manages how your body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
* Keeps inflammation down
* Regulates your blood pressure
* Increases your blood sugar (glucose)
* Controls your sleep/wake cycle
* Boosts energy so you can handle stress and restores balance afterward

But what if you’re under constant stress and the alarm button stays on? It can derail your body's most important functions. It can also lead to a number of health problems, including:
* Anxiety and depression
* Headaches
* Heart disease
* Memory and concentration problems
* Problems with digestion
* Trouble sleeping
* Weight gain
