Explore the science of emotions and how to master them! In this livestream, I discuss how specific brain patterns relate to feelings. Learn about interoception, a technique for recognizing and interpreting bodily sensations, and its impact on managing emotions. Understand the role of the brain's insula region in processing feelings and its influence on our emotional states. Gain practical advice for directing attention to body sensations to better handle emotions. This video provides practical tips for handling stress, dealing with anxiety, and improving emotional intelligence. It also offers suggestions for viewing challenging situations as chances for personal growth. • - • Love audio books?
