LCS Thought-Work Model
The LCS Thought-Work Model helps to provide a simple visualization of the neuroscience and biopsychology behind the emotion-brain connection.
Key brain structures involved are the amygdala, pre-frontal cortex, and limbic system.
Although circumstances initiating the cycle vary drastically, the process is the same.
A neutral, external circumstance gets filtered by our brains through our own story and experience which causes a thought. That thought creates a physiological feeling in our body. If we don’t like the feeling (emotion), we take action, sometimes impulsively, to get rid of it. This produces a result.
This happens so quickly we don’t even know it.
We believe because we’ve had a thought that it must be true.
But here’s the thing… our thoughts are not objective. They are an interpretation of a neutral, external circumstance filtered through our unique lens of story and experience.
They are just a bunch of neurons firing around our gray matter.
That is why some of us react or respond to the same circumstances in wildly different ways. Because we all will interpret the same exact thing differently.
Yet, we still believe these thoughts as fact.
Well, they aren’t fact and they can be changed.
So, we work the cycle backwards. To get a new result, we have to first change our subjective thought.
I’ll tell you how in this afternoon’s Coaching Hack!
What do you think about your thoughts?
Are they true?
