What techniques does Mark Groves use to transform emotional intelligence into life skills in the episode #043: Do You Feel Your Feelings? with Megan Jane Soutar and the clip Coping Strategies?
How do negative experiences, such as being told at a young age or into adulthood how we should feel (e.g., feeling ashamed or not being allowed to feel sad), get encoded into our brains, and how does not having permission to feel our real, biological emotions impact our future decisions?
I have a question about this episode #043: Do You Feel Your Feelings? with Megan Jane Soutar and the clip Navigating Childhood Bullying. I am almost 60 years old and have started looking back at my younger years, especially from ages 12 to 32. I believe my frontal lobes came online late, and I developed many strong attachments to girls during that time, falling in love maybe 12 or 13 times. (Ask me about singing to a girl over the phone or castrating pigs with a girl's father just to be seen.) No one ever spoke to me about my brain, and I realize my brain made me a real asshole. I was hurt, and other people were hurt. I take responsibility for my own actions, but is it also OK for me to harbor a little resentment about my education? Would I have listened if someone had told me about it?
