Emotions

In this session, I speak about the power of emotions in high stress situations, and how these emotions manifest them selves in behaviour. Emotions are very powerful, but must be managed before they cause us or others harm.

I find this helpful, and I am almost certainly neurotypical. I am a teacher, though, so I have to accommodate people all along the spectrum, Thank you got sharing your experience. 💞🙏🏻

Excellent work by you Joe. I could understand the process in a way that I was unaware of before I listened to your presentation. Thank you for sharing your insights

Such a clear description of emotional escalation. This can benefit many. Thank you. 🙏🏻🕊

I really appreciate this talk. My emotions have been getting the better of me at times lately. When they arise during zazen I try to accept that this is what is happening in my body at that moment. The moments that occur when observing the rise, fall, and intensity with openness and non-judgement have helped a lot. This talk feels like another deepening of that awareness. The knowledgeable way Joe describes an autistic’s experience of a social gathering was very helpful - it’s an experience I’ve encountered many times. It has been gradually changing thanks to Buddhist practice and a lot of professional therapy. I’m still autistic of course, but one who is becoming more likely to find the space to pause, breathe, and respond rather than react. If you experience emotional dysregulation, the perspectives Joe offers are helpful!
