So, heightened anxiety triggers alternate emotional regulation, with traits like pro-avoidance behavior.
To me this is not necessarily dysfunctional. It may also go hand-in-hand with motivating heightened deliberation. I can see how one can fall into regressive patterns like distracting ourselves away from critical path actions, especially if a particular person only uses one of two strategies, 1) try going on as before or 2) try forgetting we need to go this way.
I take a more neutral approach on the finding and don’t yet assume this is something that is best medicated out of.
They show that even mild emotional challenges can saturate FPl neural range, which to me is simply a greater sensitivity that can be easily overloaded (like when you put the voltmeter on a more sensitive setting).
Exposure Therapy is a methodical, deliberate, routine heavy strategy. ET doesn’t simply get us to re-engage, it gets us to re-engage with new and different behavior, which may be essential to success.
