Emotion Regulation: Top 10 Neuroscience-Backed Tools | Ethan Kross & Emma Seppälä

It's the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey gang, here's the deal. We all experience emotions all day long. Often those emotions are powerful, negative, and very, very uncomfortable, and they can provoke us to do things that degrade our relationships and our happiness.

So that is the bad news. The good news is that there are evidence-based strategies for managing and regulating your emotions. So today we've got two maestros who are going to talk us through the top 10 neuroscience-backed ways to regulate your emotions. We discussed the surprising upside of anxiety and anger.

We talk about how to rewire your inner critic, why suppressing emotions can backfire, but why avoidance actually sometimes makes sense, and why you should never worry alone.
