#emotion

Even though it's been a few years since I listened to this one, it often resurfaces in my thoughts. In short, the theory of #emotion presented in this book is powerful because of its flexibility and its ability to explain: - how #reframing is even possible - how there can be such large #emotional differences between cultural groups - how it could have been possible that the way humans construct emotion has changed over the course of #history

Something we’re taught as physicians is that when talking w/ a distressed patient, you can’t meet #emotion with information

You have to meet emotion w/ acknowledgement & validation. Only then can the emotion fade & the brain receive information

Just thinking about this in context of the U.S. election

Maybe campaigns need to start employing experts on human emotion & behavior, not only information

Especially when #fascism harnesses that worst of human emotions (hate)
