This is how your brain reacts to negative feedback (and how you can train it to reframe)

Negative feedback triggers a threat state in our brains, leading to heightened stress and a focus on reputation rather than on improving performance.

During negative feedback, the brain diverts resources away from cognition and towards feelings of danger, creating a barrier to effective listening and mental contrasting.

To overcome the effects of negative feedback, it's essential to develop brain-friendly tools that help calm both our minds and our bodies, facilitating better performance.
