When it comes to our response to danger, the monkey and lizard act differently. The monkey will go nutty, either flight or fight. It is in moments of panicked fear or crazy rage, we are expressing our inner monkeys.
The lizard though, takes it to a new level when the primitive brain perceives very high level of threat; it might assert your inner lizard and literally shut you down! People who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome(as an example), are often victims of an over stimulated lizard.
The good news is that the more you interact with the lizard and monkey brain, the more easily you can influence and control it. The exercises in Komodo are designed to help you learn to control and influence your inner lizard and monkey.
