Episode 27 - Emotion at Work in Emotion Regulation

This episode is one of those that talks about stuff you as a human do all the time but aren't all that aware of or use different words to describe it.  My guest this time is James Gross who is the worlds leading researcher in Emotion Regulation.  Through the podcast we chat about:

- What are emotions?

- What is emotion regulation?

- The 5 families of emotion regulation strategies

- Examples of what people do within each of those families

- How emotion regulation can be extrinsic (where others use these strategies with/for/to you to 'help' you regulate your emotions) and intrinsic (where you use them with your own emotions)

- What the workplace and individuals can learn from emotion regulation

This was a great episode to record!!!! My inner geek was super excited
