The Science of Emotion Regulation: How Our Brains Process Emotions

As a cognitive scientist, I am really glad that the academy is now focusing more on emotions. I believe that increasing research in affective neuroscience have great potential to provide tools in understanding the mind. I can't wait for the emotion series!

I love Dr. Marks' videos. There is something about her delivery that makes it easy for me to focus and absorb.

I adore how articulate and concise you are and how you explain everything Dr Tracey

🥺i don’t want to spill all my dreams and trauma but i just want to express how grateful i am to have doubled across your videos in the first place, this new series you’re doing, and your presentation that both makes the content understandable but also stick and give hope

I can't help feeling love towards this woman. Maybe she's paid to do this and maybe this is very beneficial for her career, but the essential thing is that she provides the type of help needed by countless individuals that is not available to them anywhere else, and this help is both of high quality and is genuine. I can never be thankful enough for the existence of this channel and the lessons Dr. Marks shares.

So by having a disturbing childhood I developed not only PTSD and Borderline Personally Disorder and acute anxiety. Today I’m doing better . Medication, diet , therapy & meditation are helping me a lot . Thanks dr Tracey your videos are very helpful 🙌

I meet the criteria for Sensory Processing Disorder (related to my autism), which ties in with my Hyperacusis (involuntary pain/fear response to sound) and Haphephobia (involuntary pain/fear response to touch). I am always having intense, dysregulating emotional reactions to common environmental encounters and normative/baseline embodiment.

One of the most informative, understandable, and important mental health videos I've seen on YouTube. Thank you for generating this series. I look forward to seeing the next one.

I needed this to help with my 13 year old. It’s been a huge struggle. Therapist after therapist and no resolve. This channel is greatness.

Thank you so much for this video. I have destroyed every relationship in my life because of PTSD and the effects of this brain dysfunction. I am crying right now because I am happy for having this information but also sad because nobody understands me or why I couldn’t control my emotions.

I’m looking forward to this series! I’ve struggled with anhedonia and feeling emotionally blunted for years. Emotions themselves fascinate me, especially when they come out of nowhere or hit particularly strongly.

As someone with BPD, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have this diagnosis if I were taught about emotions at am early age. I leaned all that in therapy... At 35!!... After much suffering that could have been prevented

I can't say it enough how much I appreciate your videos doc. I can't say enough about the work you're doing. As a provider, I continually use your content for psychoeducational purposes with patients. You're amazing.

amazing! really looking forward to this series. I was told all my life i was "overly emotional" and just couldn't handle stress. Then once i saw the same emotional disregulation in my children i knew there was more too it. We have all since gotten our ADHD diagnosis and have put in a lot of work through CBT, mindfulness, counseling and more, but i still always feel that Emotion Regulation is our "White Whale". any tools, perspectives and knowledge we can gain is always a bonus <3. Thank you Dr.Tracey you have a exceptional way of breaking down things that can feel so clinical or complicated into bite size digestible pieces of content. <3

This makes perfect sense. I have noticed that sometimes you can even look at an image it can trigger a "feeling" within the body. That's why I am very mindful now of looking at movies that have unsettling images, or reading things that make me uncomfortable because it can affect the amygdala and the hippocampus and cause a stressful feeling or create an environment for anxiety! Thank you so much for making this so clear! You are appreciated 🙏🏾

I finally understand what emotional disregulation is. I've been thru these episodes my whole life, being overwhelmed by my emotions like being at sea in a storm with no rudder..and no explanation why i do the things i do then regret them...just losing it till it passes. Now I understand the how and the why, maybe I can better understand myself and gain some control.

I'm starting my dissertation this year on emotion regulation. Looking forward to seeing more videos on this series! :)

So, this is what’s been happening to me 🤯 I feel at the mercy of my emotions so often & can’t seem to control it. Thank you so much for this info Dr. Marks!

Thank you from the bottom of my cPTSD ❤

Thank you for the work that you do. Your videos are an excellent complement to the care I receive from my mental health professional. My counselor tells me these things in our sessions, but I usually can't absorb all the information in that context. I often play your videos more than once so I can absorb the information. Thank you! You are a credit to your profession.
