## Resource

Balancing the #Moro #reflex (#primitivereflexes) isn't just about reducing a #startle response — it can shift a person’s entire emotional landscape. When this reflex integrates properly, the nervous system stops reacting like it’s in constant danger. People often describe feeling calmer, clearer, less overwhelmed, and more able to handle everyday stress without spiralling. Emotional triggers lose their intensity. Social interactions feel safer. The brain becomes better at distinguishing real threats from imagined ones, which reduces the feeling of being “picked on,” criticised, or singled out. With the Moro reflex integrated, the amygdala quiets down and the prefrontal cortex — the problem‑solving, rational part of the brain — finally gets a chance to lead.
