This was a very important part of the interview for me, as we discuss some of the cultural beliefs around emotions, and how we’re supposed to behave with them. On the growing mindfulness front, we’re told to be aware of our thoughts, and this often leads to spiritual bypass and experiential avoidance; on the emotional health front, we’re told to be true to ourselves, to be authentic, to not avoid our emotions, and this often leads to a fierce defence of our truths and our stories. How do we get in touch with our emotions, without getting lost in the stories that they come with, and without using our emotions as justification for our unhealthy patterns? Do we sit with our emotional stories and stew in them for hours? Or do we use mindfulness to silence our thoughts? A healthy middle path is to be mindful of our emotions, to look at the physical part of our emotional experience closely, and to let them dissolve. Notice what sensations are arising in us. How do our challenging emotions feel, in our bodies? Can we experience what our bodies are feeling, without adding emotional concepts to them? Let’s experience the feelings, closely, more than the narratives that come with them, without getting lost in the Dramatic Triangle framework we keep using to understand our experiences. Instead of feeding our thoughts with more storytelling, how can we offer ourselves some self-care, self-empathy, and self-soothing? Lisa Feldman Barrett is one of the world’s leading neuroscientists, and a major figure in modern science’s understanding of emotion. Her book challenges a lot of the cultural baggage of our understanding of emotion. If you’re interested in these ideas, check out the full video: ☞ https://youtu.be/7686weIa6fc」2月27日 21時58分
