In this episode of Diary of an Empath, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, one of the world’s leading experts in psychology and neuroscience, to break down the truth about emotions, mood, and how your brain really works.
We explore why emotions aren’t universal, how your brain is constantly predicting your feelings based on past experiences, and why your mood is a reflection of your body’s internal “budget.” Dr. Barrett also shares how childhood adversity and poverty shape emotional development in ways most people don’t realize.
We dive deep into emotional regulation, challenging outdated views on emotions and mental health, and giving you practical insights to help you better understand yourself and the people around you.
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel the way you do or how to manage your emotions more effectively, this conversation is for you.
Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett is a Professor of Psychology, ranked among the top 0.1% of most cited scientists in the world, and the author of Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain.
