“…Specifically, at lower emotion intensities, people prefer to use reappraisal, a putatively adaptive strategy, thereby processing their emotions. Conversely, at higher emotion intensities, people prefer to use avoidance, a putatively maladaptive strategy, thus disengaging from their emotions (e.g., Sheppes, 2014;Sheppes & Levin, 2013;Sheppes, Scheibe, Suri, & Gross, 2011). In turn, the use of avoidance strategies, such as suppression, may yield further increases in intensity (e.g., Campbell-Sills, Barlow, Brown, & Hofmann, 2006).…”

“…Sheppes et al11 showed that disengagement with emotional processing (such as distraction) is more effective in down-regulating negative emotion than reappraisal when emotion intensity is high, whereas reappraisal is more effective when emotion intensity is rather low. Moreover, they reported results of three experiments that all showed a relative preference of participants to choose disengagement when negative emotion intensity is high and reappraisal when negative emotion intensity is low 11,12…”

IntroductionEmotion regulation plays an important role in the development and treatment of depression. The present study investigated whether the emotion regulation strategies, expressive suppression (ES) and cognitive reappraisal (CR) change in the course of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) of depressive inpatients. Furthermore, it also examined whether changes in CR and ES correlated with positive treatment outcomes.MethodsForty-four inpatients from a psychotherapeutic hospital who suffered from a depressive disorder (mean age =36.4 years, standard deviation =13.4 years; 63.6% female) filled in the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory at admission and discharge. To detect changes in emotion regulation, and depression across treatment, data were analyzed using multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) for repeated measures, effect sizes, and Spearman correlations. A P-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsDepression severity (F[1]=10.42, P=0.003; η2=0.22) and CR (F[1]=4.71, P=0.04; η2=0.11) changed significantly across CBT treatment. ES remained virtually stable. Post-treatment scores of CR were also positively correlated with reduction in depressive symptoms across treatment (ρ=0.30, P=0.05).ConclusionThe results suggest that CBT affects emotion regulation in depressive inpatients only for CR and that higher post-treatment scores in CR were related to greater reduction in depressive symptoms across treatment.

“…Probably most of us have had is something like walking through a park, walking through the woods, enjoying a nice pleasant day and then all of a sudden there's a snake…your hearts pounding, your chest is up and down, your breathing, and you are sweating, you have to escape and only after all that seemingly has already happened and time to slow down do you realize, it was merely a stick what has happened is that your body has activated the spider flight response before you can consciously be aware of what happened and that is going on every day and people with severe anxiety disorders and fear-related disorders, the cues of the world that activate fear are activating it [30][31][32][33][34].…”

It is intuitive to understand how sensory information gets to the brain and how motor information can travel to the muscles together where these two systems allow us to detect and respond to the world around us but how do we engage with that world, how do we determine what is important, and how do we fall in the analysis. These higher cortical functions involve the complex interplay between neurotransmitters and hormones throughout the entire nervous system. There are two major anatomical behaviors; the limbic system and hypothalamus. These structures that support much higher cortical functions hypothalamus is a very small structure but it is absolutely critical for life and it allows us to respond to both the internal and external environment and to maintain homeostasis. The limbic system is important for learning and memory, and all emotional aspects of behavior importantly limbic and hypothalamic structures are interconnected with each other. Let's begin with an anatomical overview of the hypothalamus in the middle section. You can delineate the hypothalamus from the thalamus through the hypothalamic sulcus anteriorly, the hypothalamus extends to the anterior commissure, and the optic chiasm inferiorly and it includes the mammillary bodies and extends to the infundibula stock where it communicates with the pituitary glands. It is a coronal section through the brain. It is the third ventricle, you can identify the thalamus on either side of the third ventricle and underneath; the thalamus is the hypothalamus and it extends laterally to these descending fiber bundles which are part of the internal capsule. The hypothalamus is structurally part of the diencephalon but it functions as part of the limbic system through reciprocal connections. It helps to maintain homeostasis in the entire body through influences on the endocrine system and importantly through its primary influence on both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems; the limbic system is extremely old from an evolutionary perspective in its connections and it is interposed between the hypothalamus and the neocortex and providing a bridge between endocrine visceral emotional and voluntary responses to the environment.
