The Psycho-Cybernetic Mechanism and the Amygdala – Part 2

Stuart Ginbey | January 25, 2009

So lets look at an example and see how it all works.
Think of a fear that you may have. Lets say it’s ‘Investing in the stockmarket’. Perhaps you gained this fear from a bad experience in the past because you lost some money. Perhaps it’s simply your Self Image that you are not an investor. Either way, you have instilled a belief in your subconscious mind that produces a chemical reaction and produces that fear every time you think about ‘investing in the stock market’.

A series of events occurs.
First, your psycho cybernetic mechanism recognizes that you have created a thought process that is in direct conflict with your beliefs. In other words, you have briefly imagined yourself investing in the stockmarket. Your PCM sees this as a diversion from your usual course and sends a message to your Amygdala. In turn, it releases chemicals into your body, creating feelings of fear, doubt and anxiety.

However, lets say you meet someone who has done quite well from the stockmarket and says that he will help you, but first of all you need to come up with £20,000.

Straight away your first thoughts are going to be of what it would feel like to lose that £20k. Fear and anxiety take over and you hear yourself making excuses as to why you can’t come up with the money. It’s fight or flight and your survival instinct has naturally pulled you away from the situation to protect you and return you to your comfort zone.

Yours sincerely,

Stuart Ginbey
