  Speaker 1: Everybody.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Good morning. It is June fourth, twenty twenty six. Got
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: an interesting article from a journal called Mind and Spirit
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: that says, this is what your brain looks like when
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you hate someone you know. In today's world, and we
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: see what the Democrats are doing to our government. The
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: word hate, I'm sure comes to mind an awful lot.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I wish they'd die, I hate them. Well, we're going
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: to take a look at what this looks like when
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: it does things to our mind. So stay tuned. It's interesting. Hi,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and welcome to Health Talk with Doctor Lynn. Your daily dose.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: The information you hear on the show is informational. It's
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. Any kind
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of complete health conditions must be checked out and discussed
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: with your primary care physician. Get ready for the good
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: news of the day. God bless you, folks, and here
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: is doctor lint Our daily devotional today comes from the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Book of James Chapter one. Welcome challenging times as opportunities
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to trust me. You have me besides you in my
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: spirit within you, so no set of circumstances is too
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: much for you to handle. When the path before you
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: is dotted with difficulties, beware of measuring your strength against
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: those challenges. That calculation is certain to riddle you with anxiety.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Without me, you wouldn't make it past the first hurdle.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The way to walk through the demanding days is to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: grip my hand tightly and stay in close communication with me.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Let your thoughts and spoken words be richly flavored with
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: trust and thankfulness, regardless of the day's problems. I can
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: keep you in perfect peace as you stay close to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: me great thoughts. As we look at what your brain
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: looks like.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: When you hate somebody, stay tuned changing such s.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Seven two, seven, nine one six four two one five
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to reach me off air. When you catch a glimpse
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: of someone you hate, your brain generates a very unique
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: neural pattern. Hate increases activity in brain regions involved in
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: aggression and strategic evaluation, while silencing empathy. It's like your
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: brain beginning to prepare to tackle a person. The more
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you hate someone, the stronger the signals.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Even though we may.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: All have experienced hate, our deepest self is incompa incompatible
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: with it. Stephen stows The, a therapist and founder of
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Compassion Power, said, if hate becomes chronic, we lose our humanity.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The brain's hate switch prioritizes aggressive behavior and negative judgment.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Hate selectively deactivates the right superior frontal gyrus, the area
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: involved in regulating impulsive responses and understanding others feelings. Wow,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: did you understand the biochemistry of that? This very restricted
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: deactivation of the hater's brains cuts off the neural brakes
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that keeps aggressive impulses in check, turning the hater irrational
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and making them fixated on the target. Mitchell Landers, a
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Psychology at the University
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of California, said that both love and hate involved intense
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: assessment of another person, but in opposite directions. Both lovers
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and haters experienced temporary impaired judgment under intense emotions, which
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: explains behaviors such as lovers overlooking flaws and haters manufacturing them.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Hate activates several regions in the brain's and inner layers, especially.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The putamen and insula.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: The putamin prepares you to act, and the insula acts
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: as a censor. When hijacked by hate, those regions can
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: compel a hater to take retaliatory actions, such as confronting
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and harming the target of their hatred. Hate self reinforces.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The more you hate, the more your brain is wired
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to hat second low dos poison to quietly erodes empathy.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Hate can switch off the brain's empathy circuitry. One study
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: found that participants were exposed to hate speech about minority
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: groups became less empathetic to the suffering of not just
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the minority group, but of other people as well, demonstrating
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that hate spreads through your body over time. Diminishing empathy
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: leads to a collapse of compassion, the hated person's very
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: existence in the hater's core problem. Landers said, when you've
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: estimated that someone is a negative association value that their
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: welfare runs contrary to yours, it makes sense that concern
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: for their suffering would diminish. A person is not just
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: unable to empathize with a person's pain, but becomes numb
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: or even starts feeling good about it. Hatred's close connection
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: with aggression and hostility puts the hater at a risk
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of mental and physical health issues. People who are hostile
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: experience breakdowns and relationships, and their therefore more stressed and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: more prone to depression. Physically, hate driven behaviors such as
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: anger and aggression trigger the release of stress hormones, which
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: affect the immune system and lead to inflammation. Stress hormones
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: suppress the activity of natural killer cells, which impairs into
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: person's ability to fight infections, including cancer. The stress response
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: linked to anger and aggression also impairs your blood vessel's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: ability to relax properly, which is critical for good circulation.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: This disruption is one of the primary drivers of stroke
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and cardiovascar disease. A meta analysis publishes a journal the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: American College of Cardiology found that anger and hostility increase
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: coronary heart disease risk by nineteen percent in healthy people
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and the chance of a poor diagnosis by twenty four
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: percent in patience with existing heart conditions. So where does
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: hate come from? Hate is often rooted in unresolved anger.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Anger is a bargaining mechanism. When you feel angry, you
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: assume the relationship is worth saving when somebody doesn't appear
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to care as much as you believe they should. Anger
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: bargains by pushing others to change how they treat and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: value you. That's why angry people want to talk when
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: explanations one apologies. When anger repeatedly fails to repair the relationship,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it begins to transition toward hate. Hate assumes the relationship
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: is not worth saving, so it seeks to neutralize that
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: very person. No amount of talking will change the fact
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that a romantic rival exists, or that a competitor took
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: your promotion. Hate turns off only when the target is
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: sufficiently distanced or depowered. Hate is a very intense kind
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: of shield. We need to get the bottom of what's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: behind it. Russo believes that compassion can dis mandle the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: shield of hate by restoring hope and removing darkness. The
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: antidote is to rebuild exactly what hate eroads. Is there
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a cure for hate? Humans possess a core value, an
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: instinctive sense of self worth rooted in the beliefs that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: every person is a child of God. Acting from this
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: belief humanizes self and others, while hate dehumanizes both. Therefore,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to eliminate hate, what's much cultivate the complete opposite, which
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: is compassion. Compassion and hate are incompatible. The more we do,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: less abable we are to do the other. Compassion is
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a very broad concept, and everyone has their own understanding
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of it, but generally it's about recognizing that humans are
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: flawed and suffering yourself and others included, which allows you
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to understand and extend sympathy to everyone. Many people mistakenly
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: believe that compassion is dismissing bad behavior. Over Compassion isn't
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: about forgiving behavior. It's about understanding the hardships that lead
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: others to behave badly. Look for their early warning signs
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: in tolerance of hurt, emotional discomfort, coping with the internal
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: discomfort by blaming it on others, and the inability to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: see others perspectives. It's critical to break the hate loop
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to pull the brain out of state of being threatened
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: or powerless. Sheer Reckon recommends beginning by imagining feeling compassion
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: toward what threatens you or discomforts you. Then try to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: break down the unhealthy perspective that fueling hate. Ask yourself,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: all right, if I'm feeling hatred, that means I'm feeling threatened.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: What am I so scared of? Fundamentally, hate comes from
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I am a victim mentality. Those who believe that they
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: are exclusive victims tend to express stronger hate. It's therefore
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: important to recognize that both sides have suffered. When we
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: embrace the other person as part of us we see,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: seeing our shared humanity and everybody around us good good ideas.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: All right, that's what we got for you today, folks,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: God bless Take that to heart and we'll see us
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: soon
