Your Emotions Are Not Random — Dr. Melvyn Lurie on the Psychology Behind Why You Feel What You Feel

Most people experience their emotions as things that happen to them rather than things they can understand and work with. Dr. Melvyn Lurie has spent his career as a psychologist studying exactly what emotions are, where they come from, and why they have such a powerful grip on our behavior and relationships. He joins Stacey Chillemi to explore the psychological mechanisms that underlie our feelings, why emotions are so deeply tied to our most fundamental instincts around survival and connection, and what emotional intelligence actually looks like when it is developed deliberately rather than left to chance. What he shares about where emotions reside within us, how emotional regulation works and why so many people struggle with it, and the role that emotional control plays in the quality of our daily lives and our relationships will give you a clearer and more compassionate picture of why you respond the way you do, and what becomes possible when you start to understand the language your emotions have been speaking all along. Your feelings are not your enemy. This episode shows you how to finally start listening to them the right way. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the human mind.
