In this episode, Sebastian Bates, the founder of the Warrior
Academy and host of the Warrior Academy Podcast, shares a chapter
from his book "Not a Victim." This book, written in 2021, is aimed
at helping parents mentor their children through the challenging
transition of bullying. The chapter explores how bullying affects
the brain, focusing on both physical and mental pain, and why
developing resilience and understanding the brain's response to
stress are critical for addressing the damage caused by bullying.
Bates provides valuable insights into how bullying works and the
impact on brain function.
Topics Discussed:
- Bullying and the Brain: Discusses how bullying leads to changes
in brain function and structure, causing damages comparable to
chronic and acute stress.
- The Brain's Triune Theory: An overview of the triune brain
theory, which divides the brain into the reptilian brain, limbic
system, and prefrontal cortex.
- Impact of Bullying on Brain Structures: How bullying, child
abuse, and stress cause damage to specific parts of the brain.
- Hormones and Neurotransmitters: The role of hormones and
neurotransmitters, such as cortisol, adrenaline, and serotonin, in
the brain's response to stress and trauma.
- The Brain Development Process: Explanation of how the brain
develops from before birth until around the age of 25, including
the pruning process during puberty.
- Long-Term Effects of Chronic Stress: The consequences of chronic
stress and the impact it can have on mental and physical
health.
- Resilience and Neuroplasticity: The concept of neuroplasticity,
which allows nerve cells to regenerate, and the search for ways to
stimulate this process.
- Cognitive Fitness: The importance of mental health and cognitive
fitness in controlling symptoms and healing the damage caused by
bullying.
