This is a sort of special edition and is in response to a general feeling of exhaustion and fed up-ness with COVID. I shared a post on LinkedIn recently and it seemed to get people talking about how they are helping themselves right now. This got me thinking that I could pull the conversation together in a podcast that may be helpful for folk too. This is the result.
I explore the 5 families of emotion regulation, what people (and I) are doing now under each family of strategies, and regular pauses or reflection moments for you fair listener to think about what it may mean for you.
Here are your references as always:
Around 2 minutes I mention Emotional Labour and Arlie Hoschchild

Shortly after I mention episode 2 of the podcast

Then I mention an episode with Mark Gilroy that I incorrectly labeled as episode 27

Then I do accurately refer to episode 27

I also talk about appraisal theory and here is a link to a fab article that gives a headline overview of the different (psychology-based) theories of emotion.
