Are We Emotions or Data?

How do we not get hijacked by our difficult emotions? When we are experiencing difficult emotions and we ask, what is the value that is underneath the difficult emotions? That starts allowing us to create the space between stimulus and response so that we can choose who we want to be in the moment. So I can show up to my son's frustration with his baby sister. I can see it. I can love it. And this now allows us to create space so that we could step into our values.
