Understanding emotions starts with changing the questions you ask:

❌ “Why am I like this?”
✅ “What is my brain predicting?”
✅ “What context is shaping this feeling?”
✅ “What new patterns can I create?”

​

And from there, you can begin:

Naming emotions with nuance

Noticing your body’s cues

Learning the ability to identify and label subtle feelings

Practicing new interpretations and mental models
