    Thank you so much for your superb presentation on (a complex set of ) emotions, complemented by excellent “flow” diagrams, Eve.
    Energizing and motivating for a life-long journey. I love the shared Pro-Social Emotions diagram @ the Greater Good Science Berkeley.

    This was a wonderful presentation with great insights and understandings of how to recognise and constructively direct our negative and positive emotions.
    Thank you so very much.

    This was fast but I appreciate the message: our emotions can tell us a lot of we pay attention to them and create enough space to reposed constructively and not destructively. The example of the family expressing that the health care provider was not doing enough was helpful in illustrating the main point of the presentation. Thank you for the additional sources too.

      Thank you. I found this helpful on a personal level and it also expand on what I already knew as a social worker.

    Super, grounded practical application of what we (probably) already know… and yet… to do it. Thank you so much.

    Such an inspiring and thought-provoking presentation.

    When we get granular and really identify the more nuanced aspects of our ’emotional’ response, I think it leads very naturally to a curiosity regarding the source of the emotion and the thoughts, subconscious and scripted drawn from, what Eve describes as ‘our database of lived experiences’. I find it inspiring to review that ‘database’, explore and analyse it on a personal level to see how often our database is wrong! Events are mis-remembered, people are mis-represented and in turn we have learned (and practiced) emotions that are in fact misplaced – or at worst entirely wrong, sometimes for many, many years. And from this I am reminded of the importance of humility and a willingness to learn (and re-learn).

    Eve’s pro-social list is such a superb starting point for the process of re-learning and building crucial personal resilience
    (Participating from the UK – hence the time difference!)
