What Causes Stress? - Brain and Stress Mechanism
1. Stress is deeply related to brain structure
To know about stress you need to understand your brain. Why? Because you don't have "a" brain. You really have three brains. They communicate with each other and work together. But they also function quite independently in many ways.
There is a new brain, the neocortex, which is your thinking brain. Below that is your mammalian brain, the limbic system, which is your emotional brain. And further down is your reptilian brain, the old brain, which runs your body automatically and makes your final survival decisions.

Why worry about such complexities? Because your awareness and thinking happen only in your neocortex. The other 2 brains are subconscious and outside of your awareness. Yet they powerfully influence everything you do in your life. They affect how you feel, what decisions you make, how healthy or sick your body is and how well your mind functions. In short, they determine to a large degree whether your life is fun and successful or sick and miserable.
