Listen "54. When You Can Name a Thing You Gain Power Over It"
Episode Synopsis
Naming emotions gives us power over them. When we misidentify what we're feeling, we become controlled by unseen forces instead of responding thoughtfully.Seth Roberts explores how accurately naming emotions—like realizing irritability stems from hunger, not anger—helps us break reactive patterns. Drawing from Spirited Away and horror films, he illustrates how naming what scares us diminishes its hold over us.The next time strong emotions arise, ask: "What is the true name of this feeling?" Clarity begins where confusion ends.Listen now and subscribe for new episodes every Monday.
