Episode description
The episode delves into the 90-second rule coined by brain scientist, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, which signifies that our physiological response to an emotion lasts for 90 seconds.
The speaker discusses how persistent emotions are often a result of us replaying a triggering event in our thoughts, rather than the original situation.
The speaker also reflects on the lack of emotional education in schools and stresses that understanding our emotions and hormones, and how they impact us, is crucial for our wellbeing and self-awareness. It is suggested that by taking control of our emotions, we can better teach our children to do the same.
