Have you noticed that in any group, there's a certain energy amongst the people? If someone gets excited, the group rallies around them with more excitement. If someone expresses fear, the group gloms on and generates more fear.
This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're talking about just that: Emotional Contagion.
We are all taking in what's around us - we're taking in stories from the news, concerns from friends, thoughts from family members...and feeling the feelings that those thoughts generate.
And we're also giving off what's inside of us - we're sharing our own ideas and beliefs...and all of the emotional energy we've created.
In this episode, we're going to explore how this all happens - emotions don't spread like viruses, so why are they so contagious? Join me to learn about emotional contagion and how you can be sure to stand in your own authority, taking control of your own emotional wellbeing.
This podcast is the 4th in a series on Mental Health During COVID-19. I'll keep bringing you topics and tools and tips to help support you and your mental health as long as we have to navigate this uncertain time. I've got you...
