With the growth of self-help books and the fight to destigmatize therapy, people today are perhaps more unafraid than ever to talk about their emotions. But this has led to some common myths about emotions, and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett wants to debunk them.
Barrett argues that emotions are not hardwired into the brain from birth, but rather stem from events that the brain creates based on past experiences and predictions of what's going to happen. Contrary to popular understanding, emotions are not just reactive events that happen to us - we play an active role in creating them.
By learning new things, watching movies, or even acting in a play to get outside of the normal range of what the brain predicts, Barrett argues that it’s possible to change those predictive patterns, and by doing so, to become the architects of our future selves. Understanding how our brain creates emotions can help us manage them - freeing us from repeated patterns of behavior and empowering us to control our emotions and heal ourselves.

Awareness of our thoughts and emotions is the prerequisite to change them. People are mostly unaware of what is happening. They just get identified with their states of mind and let it control them.

Finally someone who explained the difference between feelings and emotions. The way I see it is Feelings are mental interpretations of our bodily emotions. So you can experience the emotion of Fear but have the feeling of dejection, failure, loss, terror, etc. Sharing from firsthand experience of healing myself and learning to regulate my emotions.

This video would suggest: as hard as it might be at first, go out and meet new people, and seek enjoyment and appreciation in what you like about them. You will find that all the things you love about your former partner are out there in many other lives just waiting for you to encounter again, along with many other people you might fall in love with. Over time, your capacity to love others will grow, as will your ability to love all kinds of people you wouldn't have loved before.

I am sorry for your loss. Just keep recognizing over and over that you are thinking , without any judgment, just notice. Thats it and they will naturally lessen, also notice that a lot of the thoughts are just stories and that you’d not have to believe them and that they are not real. If the thoughts are linked to emotions and feelings, sit with them, thank them and they too will lessen. The last thing I would say is when you notice the thoughts, then come into your senses, hear the sounds, feel your feet on the floor, whatever, just to take you out of the mind is the purpose. I am not saying any of this is easy but it the thoughts will lessen in time.

I hear you bro
This was so so so insightful. I have experienced this. My job at times requires me to do field work often with very less sleep in between. To enable me to continue working, my brain tries to ignore the sensory information it recieves from the body when its fatigued. Eventually, that physical exhaustion takes the form of mental unrest. And by the time that period of intense field work gets over, I end up depressed, sad, develop unusally high levels of of hatred towards my job which I normally absolutely love and I begin to question my existence. I start finding everything pointless. With time I realised, that those unpleasant emotions are just a manifestation of my physical fatigue, which I had been avoiding to feel and acknowledge, as mental exhaustion and feelings of intense, unexplainable sadness, to be exact. I have noticed, after a good amount of rest, that get back to feeling normal and loving my life and my job. Thank you @bigthink for releasing such insightful videos featuring some of the most brilliant minds.

For me, it was great because it unrevealed, without a mess, the complexity of emotions. It opens the door to explore and wire new experiences as they are: unknown and unseen. We are constantly conditioned by systems, and just the communication with words represents many limitations. So, for me, a good approach could be 'To see, forgetting the names of the things we are looking at' - C. Monet.
I’d argue you’re more the surfer of your emotions not the architect. We can’t control our emotions, but we can control how we react to them.

I couldn’t agree more. As someone who comes from a dysfunctional family with a heavy load of traumatic baggage I used to be dramatic and emotionally reactive. I’ve tried many therapists like this lady and nothing worked, it only made me feel even more inadequate than I already was. That until I discovered aerial arts and my coach who guided me in how to channel all that propensity for drama and intensity into art. After 40 years of emotional chaos not only I can control my emotions now but I can also put them to good use.

The impression I got of what she was saying is that the choices we make now help create the emotions we will experience in the future. Also, maybe changing our reactions can be a way of being the architect, too.
As usual with pop sci, it's far too vague, unsourced and ends on a positive tone to get upvotes but doesn't give anything actually actionable (no, watching a movie and reading a book won't cure depression)
She made a lot sense. And I believe, when you do experience emotions in regards to pain and suffering, you should just accept them, and not fight them, they will pass.
Usually I am very skeptical of content along the lines of this video. However, I thought this was a very succinct and concise explanation and elaboration on the topic. Good stuff. Narratives are a grand part of the human experience, much of what we tell ourselves are only perceptions and not reality, meaning it can be changed through habituation and perspective. Thank you.

Barrett is the real shit. I'm skeptical too of a lot of psychology content, and I've read quite a few books that say contradictory things, but her book How Emotions Are Made was a standout to me and really cleared up the misconceptions absolutely flooding every aspect of life about how emotions work, and it has a bigger effect than people realize if everyone has wrong notions about how their brains and bodies work.

1:40 Great variability in emotional lives 2:09 The illusion the brain creates 2:37 How emotions really work. The brain regulating body top down, body is sending sensory information to the brain but we don't experience sensory changes. We get a summary--what we feel. 3:30 Are feelings emotions? Sound analogy. The brain is telling you a story processing the world inside and outside you 4:33 Why is it important? The explanation is a tool not the answer. 4:50 Depression explained. 5:25 Part of managing your emotions is using them as a diagnostic not a diagnosis. 5:53 Your brain is making emotions. Using past experience to predict things that may not happen. Emotions are not happening to you. 6:02 Implications: You are an architect of your experience. It involves predicting differently than the recipe or story you carry. 6:40 You can't change your past but every new experience is an opportunity to change your present (not your past) 7:00 Just in the same way you exercise to be healthier you can cultivate new experiences. Learning is evidenced by new and different experiences. Practice. Practice. Practice to predict and act differently. 7:45 Not everybody has as much control as they might like. But everyone has more control than they think they do. 7:50 when you enter the world you are not wired. Other people wire that world. You are not responsible for it as a child or adolescent. 8:11 But as an adult...you can make decisions about what you experience; make choices about how you act. You either reinforce your predictions your brain makes or you change them. 8:40 We are the only one who can change them. We are caretakers of our experiences but the brain does what it does...based on our past. But you can practice making a new and different lifeworld.

"Uses these new experiences to predict differently in the future ... For you to act differently in the future." Oh man, that's huge for me!
Feelings are a response to the thoughts we choose to believe. Realizing that a thought has no power over you allows you to respond in an appropriate manner. We are held captive by our thoughts, but we also hold the key to freedom.
Body keeps the score of traumas ….emotional traumas are harder to heal as people get triggered from smell, a type of noise or anything else that takes you back . The behavioral FBI unit are great in recognizing people’s behavioral patterns as a typically taught patterns …. and repetitive taught creates emotions or feelings .
This is a very good video. There is still though a lot we do not understand scientifically. Any talk about feelings and emotions needs to talk about trauma and how this can effect the brain. I have had multiple trauma and I have needed special training to help me get over it and it is still an ongoing process. When people are as good as this professor they all need to spend a great deal of time exchanging ideas - psychiatrists with psychologists with therapists. No one discipline has all the answers but the good thing is we are making progress in our understanding of these things. I would like to thank Lisa Felman Barrett for the inspiration she has given me and the important things she has taught me and reinforced in my mind.
Thank you for this. A 9 minute video that’s consumed several hours down the rabbit hole of seeking to understand and relate to in my experience. Wow, heavy duty for one who’s been living with misconceptions. She can’t be the only one with insight on this, I’m going to look further.

Yes emotions don't happen to you. You have experiences and you have feelings and emotions to me are like a release of all the experiences you have. Some people do not feel like others do. My mother had so much trauma in childhood that it made her not empathetic to other people's feelings. I was not allowed to express my emotions as a child being raised by her and learned to keep quiet because if I said or did anything she didn't like I would get raged on. I held my emotions in too long which led to a nervous breakdown eventually and had a hard time controlling my emotions after that. I was diagnosed as bi-polar but what the doctors never figure out was that my family were all narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths. My mother still cannot under why when she does certain things that it hurts other people. She still gets upset when I get emotional and actually misinterprets emotions. This "World" we live in really does not allow for being too emotional. People go to work and you ask them how they are and they smile and say, "I'm good! How are you?" The stress of this world can be too much and it is very important to express your feelings and emotions are like a release. People can have a range of emotions both positive and negative. What I have learned is that the worst of the emotions stemmed from severe unresolved childhood trauma that I was not even aware of. Anger is a natural human emotion and children get angry as well as adults yet how we express that anger is extremely important. There are healthy ways to express anger other than ragging on people or being physically or verbally abusive. Stress in this world and health issues etc. can lead to painful emotions. It is all apart of the human experience. Healing has been a life long journey for me. I am a feeling person and would call myself an empath. People get their emotions stuck and it can lead to sickness. Holding your emotions in can even lead to cancer. So let it out I say! One of my favorite songs by MaDonna says it all, "Express Yourself, Don't Repress Yourself".

Emotions DO HAPPEN TO YOU because emotions begin with primal fear of death.....which is a paradox of recognizing the desire to live yet having ZERO skills or understanding to prepare for or prevent death. What you do with your fear....shows your evolution into the skill of loving
Epictetus has a perfect quote for this "we must figure out in life what we have some control over and what we do not have control over and learn to put your focus on things inside your control" with practice you can definitely control your emotions but you will never be able to control every circumstance that happen to you.
I have been owned lately by my feelings and depressed and fatigued. Wow! This broke some ground for me. I have intuitively been doing things different. I have been learning and practicing recording a new tape. I have been pausing to breathe and relax instead of reacting. Thank you for helping me to keep on this track by confirming that these thoughts on how to get well aren't another waste of my time or energy.

This video is very interesting but it doesnt cover why we can still be "prisoners" of trauma that happened even before we had conscious memory (pre verbal trauma). Trauma is stored in the body, it's not just about how the conscious brain interprets it. Sometimes people are aware they're emotionally "overreacting", but they cant control it because they dont even know how or what happened. We've all heard about temporal memory loss, seeing red, etc.

You can answer your own question if you simply remove the word 'conscious' from the above phrase 'conscious brain'. She didn't limit it to the conscious brain, rather you seem to have interpreted it that way by adding that limitation. It is about how the brain (conscious, unconscious, preconscious) takes in and interprets both internal and external data.
Wonderfully informative and helpful. Thank you !
Makes sense. I am recently finding it useful to reflect on my current experience of feeling OK whenever possible. (whatever I am doing) I think its retraining my brain and in the context of this video, giving my brain possibilities for new predictions.

The seeding part is really profound and if meddled with consciously with an intimate understanding of oneself, can change a person's life for the better.
I was expecting her to mention Meditation as a tool for emotional regulation, maybe in a different video... To finally realize that all that we are is the awareness, the stillness behind thoughts and emotions, one can then become aware of the emotional triggers, and consciously process the emotion, identifying the source, the trauma, the trigger, without being it, and increasing the space between stimulous and reaction. Through practice, one can even untangle unprocessed trauma, or repressed emotions and free yourself from your own mind and it's conditioning.

The basis of her theory seems somewhat limited. Those familiar with the practice of meditation acknowledge that the brain is not in control and that energy is managed from other centres. We also accept that everything is everywhere all the time :-) Perhaps it was that looking outside of what is her known environment felt too challenging and she is therefore attempting to attract us into her version of things. Which is also part of what is.

Exactly! I've long felt that emotions are your mind's way of summarizing an incredibly complex array of percepts. Of course this was mere deduction on my part, using the assumptions that they must be manufactured for a purpose of some kind, and that that purpose must play an evolutionarily significant role. In other words, it was a (I hope) not unintelligent guess. But so wonderful to have it confirmed by Ms. Feldman Barrett!

What I loved: It seemed to go in a scientific direction which could mean having to depend on medication to treat the alleged deficiencies in your body, making you feel a certain way. It didn't. It's still perspective and open mindedness that can change not only your outlook, but your physical systems significantly too. You are what you think.
Thank you a lot!!!
Very very interesting. The only thing I would add, is that there is a lot of talk in the video about what ‘the brain’ thinks and believes, but scientifically we don’t know yet if that is accurate. We know about how the brain is involved chemically and electrically, and we are still learning more about that, but we don’t actually know if the brain itself ‘thinks’ or ‘believes’. The brain could also turn out to be the tool of something we have not yet discovered, for example, and we could currently be studying the result of that in the physical workings of the brain. Time and research will eventually tell us how this actually works, but until we do we will need truly open minds (not open brains ;-), especially among scientists.

We totally agree! If you're interested, we have a few more videos with her in this playlist: kzread.info/head/PL_B7bI1QVmJCM2YvLifL2dqparLFu2HrS
A woman is explaining emotions…we should definitely listen…
Wow. I've believed for decades that emotions addicts reward with use of an addictive substance (incl alcohol) effects which emotions thet feel during withdrawal symptoms . Ex: Angry drunk drinks to calm themselves. vs happy drunk goes dancing or to parties and other fun drinking events vs functional alcoholics who reward themselves for a job well done vs sad drunks listen to "cry in your beer" music and drink when they feel unappreciated/unloved, Etc.. Your info helps me understand the orchestration of perceptions, emotions, and actions in the context of accidentally training the "addict" about which types of "tantrums" will feed it the chemicals it wants. Ty.
she is amazing
Brilliant!
brilliant!
Feeling is a sense. Like seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling,... Emotions like thoughts are a separate thing. You see thoughts. You feel emotions.

I always figured that emotions and feelings are just labels that our brain gives us each label being the hormones the brain secretes that make it either possible to cope with the outside influences or not. I know that this is true becuase of all the experiences I have and seeing the difference when for example it was BEFORE my first menstruation and also how my brain handed out hormones AFTER I surgically removed my uterus, not my overies, but no more periods made my exampleS of emotions much more controllable and more comfortable. So I liked what you said.. but something tells me that all the researching IN ALL OF YOUR YEARS YOU STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OTHERS GO THROUGH IN A LIFE FULL OF PAIN AND ANGUISH, YOU ARE A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN WHO HAS NOT HAD THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE, SO PERHAPS YOU LABEL IT HOW YOUD IMAGINE IT BEING. YOU CANT TAKE OTHERS STORIES AND FEEL THEM FOR YOURSELF THE SAME. DEPRESSION IS VERY MUCH IN MY PAST AND IT IS ONLY MY OWN LESSONS THAT MAKE LIFE 'DOABLE' TODAY.
No I think we can all agree that emotions are definitely feelings that happen to us at times, and sometimes it's the wrong ones at the wrong times
Social media is messing with this ability so much that it is insane to ponder.
Life is a journey. Emotions and thoughts are involved as we speak, before we speak. I never left the hospital after I was born....until I was rescued a month later. I am 74 now and still counting. LOVE. PEACE. God Bless.
Wow, that music was beautiful! Wait, what did she say? Dang it! Even on that rare occasion when I LIKE the musical choices made for accompaniment of these talks, I STILL just wish you'd leave it off or at least reduce the volume by half or more.
That copy machine scene has happened to me too!!
Another myth is that we are so sure of ourselves we judge the ‘uneducated’ as irrational. Intuition, empathy, and tribal consciousness can be much much faster to reach a specific goal than thinking of the same things over and over
Emotions are automatic, whereas feelings can be chosen and willfully overlaid on top of those automatic emotions to help regulate them. It's definitely a practice, and much easier said than done-but not impossible.
an explanation of the unconscious without once using the word 'unconscious', well done
Thanks!
