TRIABRAIN Discovery

Mathaphobia is a severe fear in the reptilian brain that shuts down the frontal brain lobes problem-solving abilities. When someone faces mathaphobia, his or her brain halts all logical processing. Within mathaphobia’s symptoms, the student experiences physical and emotional effects: faster heart beats, sweaty palms, and even a feeling of constant comprehension failure.

Mathaphobia can cause as much difficulty as a learning disability if not treated. When a student experiences severe emotional situations, the first place the trauma is seen is within his or her math performance. And if the root cause is not removed, the mathaphobia prevents the brain from reshaping for future science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.

If “yes,” you (or a loved one) may be suffering from mathaphobia, a severe fear that shuts down the brain’s problem-solving abilities rendering someone unable to perform math problems. Nine out of ten people in the United States struggle with mathaphobia, and the people affected have age spans ranging from 8 to 80. If the fear is not removed, it can halt brain processing necessary for STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematical) education, and can hinder logical problem-solving in daily life. In this episode, Olympia LePoint shares the process to remove the fear by knowing the type of mathaphobia someone has, identifies the 3-step to reprogram the brain, and provides action steps to regain math literacy.
