The power of naming emotions

If your life is like mine right now, heightened emotions are alive and well (at home and at work). When our colleagues, kids, or spouse act seemingly irrationally—driven by emotion—we're tempted to respond with logic to resolve the situation. Nine times out of ten it doesn't work; leaving us puzzled and frustrated. In this video, I share a brief explanation of what's happening in the brain in these moments, plus one proven method for more effectively approaching the situation. 

This method helps people approach a live tarantula with less stress (listen to learn how), so it's bound to help with strong emotions at work and home.

Note: This video describes a small portion of the full NICE™ model—a framework for managing and processing emotions. Learn the full model here: https://abbeylouie.com/managing-strong-emotions-the-n-i-c-e-way/.
