Embodied Emotions

 

Interoception is a lesser-known sense that helps you understand and feel what's going on inside your body. Kids who struggle with the interoceptive sense may have trouble knowing when they feel hungry, full, hot, cold or thirsty. Having trouble with this sense can also make self-regulation a challenge.

Proprioception (/ˌproʊprioʊˈsɛpʃən, -priə-/[1][2] PRO-pree-o-SEP-shən), from Latin proprius, meaning "one's own", "individual", and capio, capere, to take or grasp, is the sense of the relative position of one's own parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement.[3]

Cannon/Bard Theory of Emotion

In the late 1920s, Walter Cannon and Philip Bard proposed their own theory in refutation of the James-Lange Theory of Emotion. According to the Cannon-Bard Theory of emotion, emotions and bodily changes do not share a cause-and-effect relationship. Rather, they occur simultaneously, following a stimulating event.

 

From <https://explorable.com/cannon-bard-theory-of-emotion>

 

Emotion in CNS/PNS

Limbic System - amygdala: responsible for fear response

Pre-frontal Cortext: anticipates consequences of our actions

In fight/flight response, Amygdala turns down PFC

Can train PFC to turn down Amydala: Mindfulness Meditation

 

Peripheral Nervous System

Autonomic and somatic branches

Autonomic - responds to stressors

Sympathetic: fight or flight

Para-sympathetic: rest & digest

 

ANS is responsible for arousal

 

PFC has bi-directional connections to limbic system which can turn up or down emotions

 

Cognitive Appraisal of current situation determines emotional physical response

 

Three theories

James Lange

Cannon/Bard

Schachter/Singer

 

The mind takes its shape from whatever it rests upon

 

Neurons the fire together, wire together

 

 

There is bi-directional feedback, so power-poses to change emotional state is a thing

Emotional Impacts

 

Emotions:

• Preparing behavioral response
• Directing attention
• Enhancing memory
• Influencing decisions
• Shaping interpersonal interactions

 

EQ cuts across all 3 Mental Operations:

• Motivation
• Cognition
• Emotions

 

Emotions are a signal, a report of current situation

 

The better you understand emotions, the better you are at office politics and therefore earn more.

 

 

1. Trigger - what started the emotional response
2. Emotion - the emotion itself, could be multiple
3. Intensity
4. Sensations in body
5. Thoughts/cognition
6. Behavior - what did you do?

 

Emotional Impact on:

 

Kahneman's Dual system Theory

System 1

Intuitive, automatic, rapid, almost unthinking, gut feeling

System 2

Reflective, controlled, analytical, deliberative

Positive Psychology

 

Hedonic adaptation - getting used to good stuff and having its impact on your happiness fade

 

Emotion Regulation Therapy - normative and disordered emotional processing and learning

• Motivational mechanisms - min/max reward/loss
• Emotional Regulatory Mechanisms - hard-wired pathways (limbic to pre-frontal) versus top-down (pre-frontal to limbic)
• Contextual learning consequences - learning safety/threat cues

 

 

 

 

Mastering contextual learning - teach emotional regulation, don't coddle

 

Moving arousal up or down

Shifting valence

Altering duration of response

 

 

Fix yourself first

Make sure help is wanted

Provide counter-evidence

 

 

Perceived stress scale

 

Occupation stress inventory

• Occupational Stress
• Psychological strain
• Coping resources

 

Herbert Freudenberger coined "Burnout"
