It was too vivid to be a dream, but too blurry to be a memory.And I was 15 when I found out that this dream actually happened in real life. I was casually talking with my parents at a dinner table about this repeated dream and they asked me, "You still remember that?" So according to my mom, this is what happened. We w ...

[Música] Pues estoy muy contenta de estar aquí. Yo soy Alex de la Mora y inicié mi carrera profesional como actriz porque yo quería hacer sentir a las personas. Me parecía importantísimo tocar corazones de los demás.Así que por muchos años me dediqué a actuar y después de divertirme mucho, de hacer mil veces el mismo personaje, de crear una comunidad de colegas a los que quiero mucho, me cuestioné si realmente mi trabajo estaba haciendo sentir a los demás. De pronto me empezó a parecer más interesante la id ...

[Applause] If my life were a movie, it would be Freaky Friday, but messier. Think less Lindsay Lohan, more emotionally repressed adults having meltdowns in the middle of Disney movies.

They live each other's lives and feel each other's frustrations. And in that, something healed betwe ...

Core Concept - The brain is likened to a computer with components such as the prefrontal cortex (operating system), limbic system (emotional headquarters), amygdala (alarm/firewall), and neuroplasticity (software update) [2][3][4] - A mental breakdown is not a sign of weakness but a reset mechanism indicating the brain's current wiring is insufficient [16] - Healing from a breakdown involves a process that may initially worsen symptoms before improvement [10][11] Brain Function During Stress - Constant stress triggers the amygdala, acting as a smoke detector, to sound an alarm [5][6] - During a breakdown, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for logic, memory, and problem-solving, becomes overwhelmed, leading to a shutdown of these functions [7][8] - Raw emotions from the amygdala, such as anger, aggression, and sadness, surge during a breakdown, causing a feeling of loss of control [8] Neuroplasticity and Recovery - Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to rewire itself, enabling recovery and growth after a breakdown [4][14] - New choices, prayers, and exercises can create new neural pathways, calming the amygdala, strengthening the prefrontal cortex, and restoring balance [15] - The brain that experiences a breakdown is the same brain capable of rebuilding and functioning effectively [14][15]
