When our 5C Needs are not met, the brain senses danger
& Executive Funtion Skills become weaker
When our brain senses any threat or danger, the energy-greedy part of the brain in
charge of Executive Function Skills is turned down. These skills become weaker.
It is harder to be deliberate, calm and flexible. It is harder to process information.
The brain turns up the skills needed for threat response and these skills become
stronger. We become more alert, rigid, impulsive and emotional. Our brain gets
ready for fight, flight or freeze.
