Students see how the brain goes into "reptilian" mode when emotions run high. They learn to identify their own emotional triggers and recognize their unique patterns of responding to those triggers, both physically and emotionally. An ensemble of engaging teens models three distinct styles of reacting in emotionally charged situations: aggressive, passive, and assertive. They demonstrate strategies that can help young people keep their cool when they are in danger of losing it.
