Some resources on Emotions

Last week at Still Processing, Bethany DeBlaay educated us on the current science of emotions, as outlined by Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett (LFB). Here are some resources for further study and reflection on LFB’s theory of emotions, discussed fully in her book How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain. Bethany utilized this helpful video from Big Think, which gives a basic understanding of LFB’s theory on emotions.

Below are three podcast episodes in which LFB discusses her theory of emotions. Each discussion unfolds slightly differently, so each one has something unique to offer.

Happy learning! I hope you can join us next month, March 7, as Bethany and I continue our discussion of emotions and emotional regulation. You don’t want to miss this conversation!
