Your Emotions Aren’t What You Think - Lisa Feldman Barrett

In this episode, Lisa Feldman Barrett and Wendy Hasenkamp discuss her unexpected path into studying emotions; how our brains construct and predict our reality; emotions as interpretations of our bodily state; the difference between affective feelings (mood) and emotions; our capacity to influence our own emotions; deconstructing our experience through mindfulness; implications for our understanding of the self; how we regulate not only our own but others’ nervous systems; and more.

A fascinating distinction thank you

This amazing talk impressed me on so many levels. As someone who wrestles with BPD, it reaffirms what I’ve learned from my psychiatrist and addresses so many of my thoughts and struggles with emotions. Thank you for this talk; I feel both validated and affirmed 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
