This book explains our brains have 3 systems for survival. Self protection and threat (fears) , Incentives and resources (pleasures) and being content. We need to keep fears and pleasures balanced to feel content. Gilbert, P. (1984). Depression: From Psychology to Brain State. London: Lawrence Erlbaum AssociatesA lot of the science in the book was something I found quite interesting. For example the fact that aside from the threat and excitement system, animals also have a soothing/contentment system which basically means they don't worry when there is nothing to specifically worry about. Humans spend little time in this zone because we are wired to think about threat all the time - much more so than anything pleasurable. Learning about this helped me feel less frustrated about myself and more normal when I'm being a 'worrywart'. Eradicating bad feelings can never be the end goal as they are part of our basic make-up and serve a purpose, but we can be kinder to ourselves about feeling them.
