Show Notes
While I talked about how we typically approach emotions in rural America in episode 25, I didn’t get into what emotions are, or what their specific purpose is. In today’s episode, I talk about the purpose of emotions, and why they matter much more than we may think. I’m sharing my thoughts on the key connection between emotions and communication, what various types of emotions are trying to communicate and the needs they represent, and even how a Feelings Wheel can support you with identifying and processing specific emotions.
In this episode, we cover:
- What emotions really are + the limbic system’s role with emotions
- The important connection regarding emotions and communication
- Examples of emotions and what they’re trying to communicate + what needs they represent
- How a Feelings Wheel can help you better specify and process your emotions, instead of shove them down
