Dr. Kelley on Bioenergetics and the Limbic System
In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, hosted by Heather Gray, Dr. Kelley sheds light on the critical role of the limbic system in fostering effective communication between the brain and body. She explains how the body’s response to illness can trigger the brain’s “panic mode,” leading to exaggerated reactions that can be as detrimental as the illness itself.
