How to understand and work with emotions so they benefit more than disrupt
Probably all of us don't like certain kinds or levels of emotion, and want to get away from them, sometimes in self-destructive ways.
In this episode, several psychologists and others talk about what emotions are.
"As an actor I have a tendency to skitter along the top of emotional things. I'm Lutheran, I don't like being emotional." William H. Macy
Psychologist Cheryl Arutt: "Creative people do tend to be highly sensitive and an exquisite sensitivity is an asset when it comes to creating art...but that same sensitivity can often make the painful experiences that they have even more so."
Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett says "You might believe that your brain is prewired with emotion circuits, that you're born with emotion circuits, but you're not."
Emotions researcher Karla McLaren thinks "It's important for our joints to have a complete range of motion, but it's also important for us to have a complete range of emotion."
