Episode notes
Open-Hearted Core State
- Core state (open-hearted) is a calm, regulated mind-body state that enables compassion, curiosity, creativity, clarity, and confidence.
- Hilary Jacobs Hendel links this state to neuroscience and says it's the destination of processing core emotions.
Change Triangle Maps Emotions To Body
- The Change Triangle maps defenses, inhibitory emotions, and core emotions with core emotions located in the body around the belly.
- Hilary says core emotions are the doorway to both authentic self and defensive, disconnected states.
Inhibitory Emotions Keep Groups Stable
- Inhibitory emotions (anxiety, guilt, shame) evolved to keep groups cohesive by damping core emotions.
- When dominant, they trap emotional energy and disconnect you from yourself.
