Emotion Regulation: Top 10 Neuroscience-Backed Tools | Ethan Kross & Emma Seppälä
About this episode
Manage anxiety, rewire your inner critic, and never worry alone.
Emma Seppälä, PhD is a psychologist and research scientist from Yale, and the author of two books, The Happiness Track and Sovereign.

In this episode we talk about:
- What emotions actually are, and why even anxiety and anger serve a purpose

- How chronic suppression makes your emotions stronger, not weaker
- Regulation tools you can use in the moment to shift emotional states
