Emotional Retraining Can Help Overcome Depression And Anxiety with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett

This has to be one of my favourite conversations of the moment - is Anxiety and depression simply a chemical imbalance?

s Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, cited as the most recognised and renowned neuroscientist and psychologist specialising in the science of emotion. We delve into the fascinating concept of the brain's "body budget"—how our brains predict and regulate the needs of our bodies through a process called allostasis.

Lisa explains how disruptions in this body budgeting system can manifest as depression and anxiety, essentially viewing depression as a "bankrupt" body budget. We discuss the profound connection between our physical state and our emotions, and how changing the meanings we assign to our physical sensations can transform anxiety into determination.

This episode offers actionable insights to help you retrain your brain, manage your emotions, and foster a healthier mind-body relationship.
