Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience to better understand emotion.
We are hardwired to connect with one another, and we connect through our emotions. Our brains, bodies, and minds are inseparable from the emotions that animate them.
Normal human development relies on the cultivation of relationships with others to form and nurture the self-regulatory circuits that enable emotion to enrich, rather than enslave, our lives. And just as emotionally traumatic events can tear apart the fabric of family and psyche, the emotions can become powerful catalysts for the transformations that are at the heart of the healing process.
In this book, the latest addition to the Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology, leading neuroscientists, developmental psychologists, therapy researchers, and clinicians illuminate how to regulate emotion in a healthy way. A variety of emotions, both positive and negative, are examined in detail, drawing on both research and clinical observations. The role of emotion in bodily regulation, dyadic connection, marital communication, play, well-being, health, creativity, and social engagement is explored. The Healing Power of Emotion offers fresh, exciting, original, and groundbreaking work from the leading figures studying and working with emotion today.

Much emotion (Bartels & Zeki, 2000; Fisher, 2004). Millions of neural networks are activated, and the brain centers that mediate emotions, sexuality, and the self begin to expand and reorganize. Romantic love involves surges of dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that drive the reward system and are closely akin to those involved in addiction. The romance was quite one-sided at the beginning. Robin told Ted that she was still recovering from the death of her fiancé in an automobile.
Offered to refer her to another therapist so that she could talk privately about some of the things going through her mind. She was quiet for a moment, then said, “No. This will be fine.” But she canceled and reset the time of our session twice. It was clear that that the distancing behavior of which Ted complained was a long-term avoidant attachment pattern. As I learned from what Robin hesitantly told me when she finally did come in, she was raised by a mother who was dismissing of any.
Angry protest, clinging, depression, and despair occurs, culminating eventually in grieving and emotional detachment. Depression is a natural response to loss of connection. Bowlby viewed anger in close relationships as often being an attempt to make contact with an inaccessible attachment figure, and he distinguished it from the anger of hope, where a viable response is expected from the other, and the anger of despair, which becomes desperate and coercive. In secure relationships protest at.
Cognition, and intentions. The following is an example of the therapist’s active role in facilitating the flow of A-R dialogue. In this example, the therapist works to help a child “make sense of” his experience of anger toward his mother, while also working to ensure that his mother will be open to her child’s experience as it is emerging. Often at the beginning of such sequences the child’s or parent’s communications are characterized by an intensity that suggests strong anger or distress. The.
