The Life-Changing Skill of Emotional Regulation - Dr Marc Brackett | Chris Williamson

The podcast features an interview with Marc Brackett, who discusses emotional intelligence and regulation. He begins by highlighting the lack of emotional education and the importance of understanding different emotions. Brackett introduces the RULER model for emotional intelligence, emphasizing the need to recognize, understand, label, express, and regulate emotions. He challenges the traditional definition of success, suggesting emotional regulation should be the new standard. The conversation explores the challenges men face in expressing emotions due to societal expectations and the importance of vulnerability. Brackett shares strategies for emotional regulation, including shifting mindsets, building emotional vocabulary, practicing mindfulness, and seeking social support. He also touches on the role of sleep, nutrition, and physical activity in emotional regulation. He introduces his app "How We Feel" as a tool for building emotional awareness. The discussion concludes with the importance of self-compassion and the benefits of creating a world filled with non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate individuals.
