What she's saying is that emotions are concepts we learn that the brain then applies automatically based on signals from your body and environment. But if we relearn those concepts in a real way, we can change how we experience emotions.

I'm intrigued by the idea that we can essentially rewrite our emotional scripts by consciously altering our experiences. It's like DIY neuroplasticity!

“You are an architect of your experience” Such an eloquent and empowering way to describe the human condition.

I'm a psychologist and watching this video reminded me again why I love my career so much. They way emotions and feelings aren't the same and how we react from past experiences it's such an eye opener to anyone that wants to undertand more about this topic. I'm beyond grateful and happy I found this video because it's so good. Thank you!

I love her book "How Emotions Are Made". It has changed how I perceive a lot of things

This is also what makes trauma difficult because the traumatic experience triggers systems that send off survival stress signals, which gets everything caught into a self-perpetuating feedback loop that gets difficult to break. This is also why the things that can alleviate trauma can be identical to what will exacerbate trauma, and the only difference is the stability of the environment in which that occurs because of the removal of stress allows the individual to rewrite and overwrite those emotions without the stress response taking over, whereas that occurring in an uncontrolled environment reinforce that pattern further. Related is that this is also what makes neglect difficult because there's an active lack of stimulus to help create a differentiation to allow your brain to change the pattern of experience. That's why isolation and loneliness have a significant psychological and physical health impact that's difficult to overcome without external assistance to help first break that pattern, especially once it hits a point of learned helplessness.

“The best way to change the past is to change your present.” As someone who always have to know the “why,” Dr. Barrett has enlightened my perspective on why “finding new hobbies” or “putting your eggs in different baskets” matter. There’s always something that we can be good at… and there’s always kind and positive people out there! To enjoying life! 🎉

"Emotions are a way of being in the world" - one of my favourite quotes
@anthonychyou1318
"Sometimes in life, we are responsible for changing things, not because we're culpable or to blame for those things, but because we're the only ones who can change them. And that can feel unfair, and it is unfair, in a certain way. But it's also helpful because it means that you always have tools available at your disposal to heal yourself, to act differently, and to feel differently." I quote here, because it's invaluable and helpful advice for me, and it's so true in my experiences actually!

I highly recommend her Ted Talk. Her explanations and visuals were perfect in explaining how what our bodies are feeling leads to the emotions we're (likely) going to feel.

The thing about being emotions a recap or a translation of what's happening to you physically is so true. For years I will turn randomly "depress". For a lot of time it made sense as I was not in the best of situation. But when life started to get better, I started to see those "random" feelings where out of place. Short story: I finally did the connection and I notice it happens one week before my period. It sound obvious now. But back in the time people were only telling me "girls get so difficult when the are having the period". So I have to re educate myself, not only about periods, but about the feelings it creates. One I got it I never felt "randomly depressed " again

My interpretation of her theory is that emotions are like habits. They are formed by past experiences, probably heavily influenced by your upbringing. But you can change emotions(habits) by becoming more aware of them and providing yourself with other kinds of experiences.

Please do never stop this series!! It's so wonderful, inspiring and thought provoking. Thank you so much for these masterpieces!
@justplayrr
I just love so much when a video in this channel made me stop for a while because I really need to think about it. Emotions, I guess.
@lovinglighthouseecs9836
As someone who does Emotion Code Sessions for people and works with people this a great video. It's amazing how often we misinterpret our own emotions and everyone else's. Emotions = energy in motion ❤❤
@jaffshwan
Her book how emotions are made, secret life of the brain is a game changer and a must read.
@CryptoSanctuary
I'm deeply impressed by Lisa Feldman Barrett's video on "How Emotions Work." She has helped me gain a better understanding of how the mind and emotions operate in our everyday lives. She is truly an outstanding speaker, and the content is very intriguing. Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge!
@crystalgonzales4534
This gives me hope. I didn't think about emotions this way. This is definitely eye-opening.
@BigC61503q
One of my all time favorite scientists and speakers. Her work on emotions and overall helping to dismantle false understandings about the brain has been groundbreaking. Understanding that police actually see guns when they are not there because their brains create the illusion of such is a revolutionary truth! Thank you Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett for not being afraid to speak truth to power!🙏🏾🔥✊🏾
