Here is some other facts about the Amygdala.
Remember the Amygdala is always watching and always on alert for some clue or sign of danger. It does not matter if this is true or false danger it always reacts the same, It races into action, hits the fight or flight button and floods you with dread and fear and the feeling that something terrible will happen.
It only learns through conditioning, you teach it by your reactions to fear. If you react to every situation you go into by running for the hills as soon as you feel a sensation of fear, then your Amygdala will react to how you are teaching it to react. You may not feel like it but you are in control.
It does not learn by conscious thought, it's all done on an unconscious level as that is the way to quicken the reaction and save your life. It is only trying to protect you.
It only learns when you are afraid and its fully activated, so to re train and cure your anxiety problem you must go back into the situations you have conditioned yourself to avoid when you trained your Amygdala that normal things were in fact dangerous in the first place. The short term fear must go up for the long term fear to go down.
If you stay away from what you fear your Amygdala will always believe that these places are fearful, it will never learn its actually ok. You will stay stuck in the cycle as you have not shown your Amygdala that these situations are not dangerous.
You need to form new memories and associations.

Human Connection & Oxytocin
Intimate conversation, hugs, massages, kisses, and sex all trigger the release of a hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone that plays a variety of essential roles in the body, most of them related to love and connection. When we are connecting with people we trust, oxytocin is released. This makes us feel safe and close with them (much more so when physical touch is involved). Oxytocin also decreases the stress response and inhibits the amygdala’s response to threats.
