Episode guide
Where Your Feelings Live
Feelings are real events in the body: weather made of chemistry and heartbeat. This episode tours where they live, and why every one of them passes.
The science, gently
- Emotions begin as signals between your brain and body; a racing heart can be excitement or worry wearing the same coat.
- Naming a feeling out loud genuinely calms the brain's alarm centers.
- Feelings are like weather: even the big storms move through and clear.
Wonder together
- Where in your body does happy live? Where does worried sit?
- What name would you give tonight's feeling, if it had one?
- What is your favorite kind of inner weather?
Tonight's calm-down
Find tonight's feeling, give it a name, and give it a seat, like a guest who is allowed to stay but not to drive. Then breathe slowly for it. Guests calm down when the host does.
