Your Brain Doesn't React-It Predicts Everything
Have you ever felt your throat tighten watching someone else receive devastating news? When millions watched Governor Dannel Malloy struggle to speak about Sandy Hook in 2012, tears came instantly-not because we witnessed the tragedy firsthand, but because our brains constructed grief from context, memory, and bodily sensations. For millennia, we've believed emotions work like reflexes: something happens, your brain detects it, an emotion circuit fires, and you react. Anger flares. Fear freezes. Joy bubbles up. This view shapes everything from therapy to courtrooms to how we raise children. There's just one problem: it's completely backward. Emotions aren't triggered reactions your brain discovers-they're sophisticated predictions your brain constructs moment by moment, using your past to make sense of your present. Understanding this doesn't just satisfy curiosity; it fundamentally changes how we approach mental health, relationships, and what it means to be human.
