In this blog for DifferentBrains.com, Giuliana Fenwick discusses "the emotional brain," known more scientifically as the amygdala. Giuliana, from the United Kingdom, is an author, a dedicated therapist specializing in people with autism or otherwise neurodiverse, and a devoted parent to a young man on the spectrum. In this piece she discusses not only the amygdala, but the role it plays in setting patterns of emotional responses, and how massage relaxation techniques might help alleviate these patterns.
