Welcome to the first episode of a special 12-part series where I dive into my book, “Yucky, Yummy, Savory, Sweet: Understanding the Flavors of Emotions.” In this episode, I share the introductory chapter of my book and explain how I use cooking metaphors to make emotions more relatable and easier to understand.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
Why Emotions and Cooking? – Discover the connection between emotions and culinary concepts, like how perceptions are ingredients and past experiences are recipes.
Emotions as Flavors – Learn how different emotions can be thought of as flavors and how this analogy can help you better understand your emotional experiences.
Interoception and Emotional Awareness – Find out why understanding the sensory system of interoception is key to developing emotional awareness.
Blame the Chef! – A fun approach to managing emotions by thinking of them as dishes prepared by a chef in your mind.
What to Expect – A sneak peek into the chapters to come, each offering a deeper exploration of how emotions are “cooked up” in our brains.
Join me on this journey as we explore the flavors of our emotions and learn how to cook up a more emotionally aware life. Don’t forget to subscribe, and stay tuned for the next episode, where we dive into Chapter 1!
