Neuroception: A Key Concept to Understand, with Claire Wilson

This video explores the journey of bright kids facing social, emotional, and behavioral challenges from a parental perspective. It discusses how our neuroception determines our sense of safety and how sensory information and communication impact our perception of safety. Feeling safe leads to social engagement, while feeling unsafe activates the fight or flight response. The video also provides an example of feeling unsafe when hearing sirens while driving and explains how neuroception can cause physical reactions like increased heart rate and tense muscles. Additionally, it touches on the shutdown response that can occur when feeling overwhelmed, which maximizes survival chances.
