DEALING WITH FEELNG

In this episode of "Dealing With Feeling," Dr. Marc Brackett, Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and Professor of Child Study, engages in a discussion with Jamie Lockwood and Liz Fletcher, co-authors of "The Teen’s Guide to Emotions."

 

They explore the emotional education gap among adults, who often struggle to express their feelings, while raising teens who can articulate complex emotions like anxiety and depression. The conversation highlights several important topics:

​

• The paradox of worsening teen mental health amid rising discussions about mental well-being

• The developmental aspects of the adolescent brain and their significance.

• The shift from being a " judge" to an "emotion scientist" for teenagers.

• Effective tools utilized school clinics, such as the CBT triangle and the RAIN technique.

• The crucial role of-regulation for parents feeling overwhelmed.

• Essential insights for parents about understanding emotions.

 

Listeners are encouraged consider one meaningful conversation they wish to have with their teens and the emotions that may be involved.
