Feeling Stressed? Check out what’s happening in your brain.
In this video, Ms. A uses Dr. Dan Siegel’s Brain Hand Model as a foundation to talk about what happens in the brain when we “flip our lid” and shift into reactive mode.

Take some time to think about what some of your physical signals are when you’ve “flipped.”
