WTF! Ukufunga Kungathuthukisa Ukubekezelela Ubuhlungu Bakho!

Lokhu okuthunyelwe kwezivakashi kwanikelwa nguMariel Bello, umfundi owenza iziqu ohlelweni lwe-USC Psychology Department's Clinical Science.

Uma ufana nami, wafundiswa useyingane ukuthi ungalokothi uthuke inhlamba, uma kungenjalo uzothola insipho emlonyeni wakho. Engikwenzile, amahlandla amaningi eqinisweni lonke ebuntwaneni (indaba eyiqiniso). Kodwa-ke, ngaphandle kwalezi zehlakalo ezingathandeki kakhulu ezishiye ukunambitheka okunamandla kakhulu emlonyeni wami, isenzo sokuhlikihla ulimi lwami ngamandla ngensipho ngumama asikaze singivimbe ekuzibandakanyeni nenhlamba enempilo njengomuntu omdala.

Ngizithola ngikhipha amagama amibalabala anezinhlamvu ezine cishe kuzo zonke izikhathi — lapho ngivuka ngishaya inkinobho yokusnuza, lapho ngishayela phakathi kwezimoto zaseLos Angeles, lapho ngizwa ngezindaba ezimnandi, lapho ngigxoba inzwane yami ebusuku kakhulu ngiya endlini yangasese, lapho ngithola ukuthi iMicrosoft Word yaphahlazeka futhi kufanele ngiphinde ngibhale lokhu okuthunyelwe kwebhulogi, futhi lapho ngibona ukuthi mangaki amahora engisalele ukulala ngaphambi kokuvuka ekuseni. UTimothy Jay, isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo efunda ukusetshenziswa kwenhlamba eMassachusetts College of Liberal Arts, uchaza ukuthi inhlamba “injengophondo emotweni yethu”, “singenza izinto eziningi ngayo” njengokuthi “siveze noma siveze intukuthelo, injabulo, isimanga, injabulo, ”kanye nolunye uhla lweminye imizwa nokuziphatha. Ngakho-ke, ngokungafani nombono odumile okholelwa ngokufunga, ucwaningo lwakamuva luphakamisa ukuthi inhlamba empeleni ingaba yinhle kuwe futhi ingaba nezinzuzo eziningana ezinhle, ikakhulukazi ekuphenduleni ubuhlungu.

Ngo-2009, uRichard Stephens, isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo, wahola ucwaningo lwenoveli lokuhlola imiphumela yokufunga ngokubekezelela ubuhlungu eKeele University e-England. Uchaza intshisekelo enkulu ekucwaningeni ngomsebenzi wokufunga ngoba "inhlamba iyimpendulo ejwayelekile ebuhlungwini okufanele kube nesizathu esiyimbangela yokuthi kungani sikwenza". Esifundweni sakhe sokuqala, uStephens nozakwabo bacele amavolontiya abafundi abangama-67 ababhalise ngaphansi kweziqu zabo ukuba babhale amagama amahlanu abangawasebenzisa “ngemuva kokushaya isithupha ngesando”, negama lokuqala libhalwe amagama abo okufunga okuzohlolwa. Esimweni sokuqhathanisa, baphinde bacelwa ukuthi babhale amagama amahlanu adikayo (angathathi hlangothi) ukuze "bachaze itafula". Ababambiqhaza babe sebethola isivivinyo sokubekezelela ubuhlungu, lapho beyalelwa khona ukuthi bacwilise isandla sabo esingafakwanga ebhakedeni elinamanzi angama-41-degree bese beyigcina lapho isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka. Cabanga nje ukufaka isandla sakho esitsheni esigcwele amathani eqhwa namanzi aqandayo? Kuzwakala kukhungathekisa, akunjalo?

Ababambiqhaza bayalwe ukuba baphinde baqalekise kuze kube yilapho bengasakwazi ukumelana nobuhlungu futhi basuse isandla sabo emanzini aneqhwa (le nqubo iphinde yaphindwa ngegama labo abakhethe ukungathathi hlangothi). Abaphenyi babhala izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo ngaphambi nangemva komsebenzi, ukuqonda kwabo ubuhlungu, nokubekezelela izinhlungu (isikhathi esichithwe ukufaka isandla sabo emanzini aneqhwa). Ngokuphikisana nalokho obekulindelwe nguStephens nozakwabo, ababambiqhaza, ngokwesilinganiso, bakwazi kangcono ukubekezelela ubuhlungu — futhi bashiya izandla zabo ebhakedeni lamanzi aneqhwa cishe imizuzwana engama-40 ubude - uma befunga bephindaphinda kunokuphinda igama elingafungeli ! Ababambiqhaza baphinde babhekana nokukhuphuka kwenhliziyo futhi banciphisa ubuhlungu obubonwayo lapho bethuka uma kuqhathaniswa nalapho ungafungi; lo mphumela wawunamandla ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane (vs. amadoda). Imiphumela yalolu cwaningo iphindaphindwe kaninginingi futhi ibuye yaboniswa ukuthi yenze amanye amaqembu amasiko njengabantu baseJapan.

Ngakho-ke, mhlawumbe ucabanga ukuthi, “Ukuthi fu-- kuhlobene ngani namandla ethu okubekezelela ubuhlungu?! Chaza lokhu, Mariel ”. Impendulo yangempela ukuthi akukacaci. Abaphenyi abanjengoSteven Pinker waseHarvard University ofunda umsuka wolimi nokufunga, bakholelwa ukuthi inhlamba ingaguquguquka futhi “ingangena ezingxenyeni ezijulile nezasendulo zobuchopho obungokomzwelo” njenge-amygdala — isakhiwo esincane esimise okwe-alimondi izinzwa ezibhekele ukucubungula imizwelo. Izifundo zangaphambilini ziphakamisa ukuthi ukuzwela okunciphisiwe ebuhlungwini kwenzeka uma imizwa engemihle esihlangabezana nayo kumongo wesikhuthazo esibuhlungu ibangela nokwesaba, okungahle kusebenze i-amygdala, okuholele empendulweni yokulwa noma yokundiza lapho sizizwa sinejubane le-adrenaline elanda ukushaya kwenhliziyo yethu nokubekezelelana kobuhlungu. Ngakho-ke, le ncazelo ingahle icabangeke uma ucabanga ukuthi ucwaningo lwangaphambilini luthole ukuthi amazinga wenhliziyo yabahlanganyeli akhuphukile lapho befunga, okuphakamisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi i-amygdala yenziwe yasebenza.

Manje, ngiyazi ukuthi ucabangani, “Kulungile, ngiyakuthola, Mariel. Ukufunga kuhle kuwe. Ngiyabonga ngokunginika izaba zokufunga noma nini nanoma kuphi lapho ngifuna khona! Uthe lisekelwa yisayensi! ”. Manje, ngaphambi kokuya emhlabeni bese uqala ukumemeza izithuko eziningi kokuqukethwe yinhliziyo yakho, kunokubaluleka okukhulu okufanele ukukhumbule. Ngo-2011, uStephens washicilela isifundo esilandelayo ku-The Journal of Pain lapho athola khona ukuthi ukusebenzisa amagama athukayo ngokweqile kunganciphisa ukusebenza kwabo okubulala izinhlungu. Uthole ukuthi ababambiqhaza ababika ukufunga njalo nsuku zonke abakhombisanga ukuthuthuka ekubekezeleleni kwabo ubuhlungu, bephakamisa ukuthi abafunga njalo bangazikhukhumeza ekufungweni kwabo futhi ngenxa yalokho, bangabe besavuswa kakhulu yikho. Ngakho-ke, uStephens uphawula ukuthi lo mphumela ungabonakala kuphela kulabo abafunga izikhathi ezimbalwa ngosuku nokuthi ukusebenzisa ngokweqile inhlamba ezimweni zansuku zonke kunganciphisa ukusebenza kwayo njengokungenelela kwesikhashana ukunciphisa izinhlungu.

Ngakho-ke, kukho konke, sebenzisa amagama athukayo kancane futhi wazi ukuthi kulungile ukufunga lapha nalaphaya kanye ngesikhathi, ikakhulukazi lapho uzwa ubuhlungu. Kodwa-ke, ungasebenzisi okutholakele okubuyekezwe kule ndatshana njengesizathu sokuba luhlaza nokuba nenhlamba noma ukuqala ukumemeza amanyala angapheli noma kunini lapho ufuna khona. Njengoba umlobi wamanoveli uJames Rozoff ake asho, "Ukuhlukumeza kufana newayini elimnandi: kufanele kungasetshenziswanga kuphela emcimbini okhethekile".
