About Emotional Algebra with Dr. E...

How many times have you asked yourself, "Why in the heck did I do that?" Well, we'll help you answer that question, not just for yourself, but also looking at culture, society, politics, communities... through understanding the subtle and obvious calculations we all make everyday that involve emotions, attitudes, beliefs, triggers, and, well life. We discuss the functional and dysfunctional ways we look at power and the intersections between what Dr. E... calls Emotional Specificity, or the idea that every emotion has a singular purpose.

   How Disrupted Attachment Shapes the Need to Be Strong, Right, and Powerful | Emotional Algebra

   How Disrupted Attachment Shapes the Need to Be Strong, Right, and Powerful | Emotional AlgebraIn this clip from Emotional Algebra® with Dr. E…, we sit with one of the most important ideas in understanding human behavior , that the people who seem the most resistant to change are often the ones carrying the most unresolved attachment wounds.When someone cannot afford to look wrong, weak, or bad , when winning becomes the only available identity , that is almost never a personality trait. It is an attachment pattern that was never healed. Dr. E… breaks down the life cycle of disrupted attachment and why the older it gets without being addressed the more resistant it becomes to change , not because change is impossible but because the belief system built around it has been reinforced for so long that it has become indistinguishable from identity itself.The most important part of this clip is the part most people miss — none of this is set in stone. Attachment can be healed. Belief systems can shift. At any age. At any stage. Through the lens of Emotional Specificity™, understanding where these patterns come from is the first step toward changing them.#DrE #EmotionalAlgebra #EmotionalSpecificity #AttachmentTheory #DisruptedAttachment #WhyPowerfulPeopleNeverAdmitWrong #NeedToWin #AttachmentHealing #PowerOverVsPowerWith #ParentingPsychology #MentalHealthAwareness #TraumaHealing #BeliefSystems #ChangeIsPossible #ReelVideo🔔 Watch the full episode here: [https://youtube.com/@ErikFisherakaDrE]Follow Dr. E... for more insights:📍Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents]📍Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr]📍LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore]📍TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents]📍Twitter/X: [https://x.com/dctre]📍Spotify Podcast:[https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA]#DrE #EmotionalAlgebra #EmotionalSpecificity #ParentingAdvice #AttachmentParenting #ChildDevelopment #ConsciousParenting #AvoidantAttachment #ParentingPsychology #KidsMentalHealth #ParentingTips #EmotionalAwareness #RaisingKids #MentalHealthParenting #ReelVideo #EmotionalAlgebra #DrE #Attachment #EmotionalHealing #SelfAwareness #Psychology #PersonalGrowth

Simpson verdicts and the desire to see someone held responsible* A parole board decision that reopened wounds for a grieving mother* Why healing for victims and offenders alike often goes unaddressed* The Humboldt Broncos tragedy, and a father's decision to forgive* Why one person's forgiveness can feel threatening to others who can'tWhether you work in the justice system, are navigating grief, or have ever wondered why "the law was followed" doesn't always feel like justice, this conversation offers a compassionate look at what we carry when we feel something has been taken from us.⚠️ Content note: this episode includes educational discussion of violent crime, child murder, and sexual offenses.Timestamps0:00 Cold open: money, power, and the legal system #Frustration #Distrust0:45 Welcome back, Jenn Hyland 1:30 Jenn's European cruise #Enjoyment #Humor2:00 Justice vs. the legal system: the iceberg model #Anger #Vengeance #Control #Fear #Shame #Pain4:00 Why the legal system is designed to be "void of emotion", and why that does not happen #Fear #Grief #Sadness6:40 Logic and emotion: rigid rules vs. exceptions #Distrust #Curiosity7:30 Wealth, technicalities, and who gets held accountable #Frustration #Distrust #Fascination9:45 Protective emotions, and the O.J.
