279. The Real Work of Building Emotional Intelligence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of us are walking around operating on three channels: mad, fine, or tired. And if that's the vocabulary we're working with, we're going to keep spinning out in the same patterns, the same arguments, the same spiral of "no one ever chooses me" without ever actually getting underneath what's driving it.
Join Anna and Tim as they get into the real, unglamorous work of building emotional intelligence in yourself. Not in a partner, not in your kids. In you. Anna breaks down the actual skills, the science behind them, and why naming what you feel isn't soft work. It's strategic.
This Episode Covers:
- Why most people default to "mad, fine, or tired" and what it costs them.
- The affect labeling research that shows precise emotional language literally reduces reactivity in the brain.
- How to separate the feeling from the story you're telling yourself about it.
- When the story is old pain wearing a current face.
- Why your partner is not your nervous system manager.
- The pause where emotional intelligence actually lives.
- What regulation looks like in practice, including the Gottman timeout strategy for couples.
Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
