Have you ever sent a message you instantly regretted? Or said something in anger that damaged a friendship, a group project, or even your reputation?

This episode dives into the science of the amygdala hijack — the moment when your brain switches into threat mode and shuts down rational thinking. When emotions surge, logic shrinks. And that’s when communication collapses.

In this practical and research-backed lecture, you’ll learn:

• What an amygdala hijack actually is (in simple terms)
• Why emotional flooding ruins communication
• The 90-second rule for emotion regulation
• A powerful pause technique to prevent regret
• How to respond calmly during conflict in college, relationships, and group projects
• A simple framework to speak clearly after intense emotions

This episode blends neuroscience, emotional intelligence, psychology, and communication skills into tools you can apply immediately in university life. Whether you're dealing with roommate conflict, academic feedback, relationship tension, or stress-driven arguments, this episode will help you regulate emotions before they regulate you.

Because strong communication isn’t about better vocabulary.
It’s about better timing.

If you want to build emotional maturity, prevent unnecessary conflict, and develop real self-leadership — this episode is for you.
