It is very difficult if not impossible to engage our brains in academic learning when we are feeling emotionally confused or unbalanced. In fact we will use the basic instincts of flight, freeze or fight to get ourselves out of a situation which has the potential to add to our stress. When we understand why we feel upset we can make sense of our emotions, our brains feel more relaxed and they are more able to take in new information.
