In this first episode of Flavors of Emotions, Kim Korte introduces a unique perspective on understanding and managing emotions by comparing them to cooking and flavors. Drawing inspiration from 'How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain' by Lisa Feldman Barrett, Korte explores the idea that emotions are constructed by the brain through our past experiences. She uses the analogy of ingredients (our sensory perceptions), recipes (our past experiences and beliefs), and tasting (interoceptive signals) to illustrate how we can become more aware of our emotions. Korte explains how distinguishing between different 'flavors' of emotions can lead to better decision-making, self-awareness, and overall health. The podcast aims to empower listeners to actively participate in 'cooking' their emotional experiences, making life more flavorful and manageable.
