Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University who is a world expert in the science of emotions. She explains what emotions are and how the brain represents and integrates signals from our body and the environment around us to create our unique emotional states. We discuss the relationship between emotions and language, how our specificity of language impacts our emotional processing, the role of facial expressions in emotions, and how emotions relate to sleep, movement, nutrition and the building and reinforcement of social bonds. We also discuss actionable tools for how to regulate feelings of uncertainty and tools to better understand the emotional states of others. This episode ought to be of interest to anyone curious about the neuroscience and psychology underlying emotions and for those who seek to better understand themselves and relate to others and the world in richer, more adaptive ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">#HubermanLab #Science

of this term to describe a certain type of therapist response, I have, over the years, become <b>very unhappy with it. <\/b>A major reason is that &#8220;<b>reflection of feelings<\/b>&#8221; has not infrequently been taught as a technique, and sometimes a very wooden technique at that. On the basis of written client expressions, the learner is expected to concoct a &#8220;correct&#8221; reflection of feeling &#8211; <b>or even worse<\/b>, to select the &#8220;correct&#8221; response from a multiple-choice list. Such training has very little to do with an effective therapeutic relationship. So I have become more and more allergic to the use of the term&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I have come to a double insight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:

Exclusion: An Investigation into the Limits of Empathy<\/span><\/h3>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thomas Fuchs<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height:

humans to experience empathy and sympathy preferentially towards members of their own group, whereas empathetic feelings towards outgroup members or strangers are often reduced or even missing. This may culminate in a \u201cdissociation of empathy\u201d: a historical example are the cases of Nazi perpetrators who behaved as compassionate family men on the one hand, yet committed crimes of utter cruelty against Jews on the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The paper aims at explaining such phenomena and at determining the limits of empathy. To this purpose, it \ufb01rst distinguishes between two levels of empathy, namely primary or intercorporeal and extended or higher-level empathy. It then investigates the mutual interconnection of empathy and recognition, which may be regarded as a principle of extending empathy to others regardless of whether they belong to one\u2019s own group or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, this principle is in con\ufb02ict with in group conformism and outgroup biases that hamper the universal extension of empathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thus, a denial of recognition and exclusion of others from one\u2019s ingroup usually results in a withdrawal or lack of extended empathy which then in\ufb02uences primary empathy as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On this basis, and using the historical example of mass executions during the Holocaust, the paper investigates the mechanisms of exclusion that may lead to a withdrawal of recognition and \ufb01nally to a dissociation of empathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Introduction<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is a conspicuous tendency of humans to experience empathy, and even more so sympathy, preferentially towards members of their own group. On the contrary, empathetic feelings toward out-group members or strangers may often be diminished or even be missing completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This may culminate in a compartmentalization or dissociation of empathy: a well-known historical example can be seen in the cases of Nazi perpetrators who behaved as compassionate family men on the one hand, yet committed crimes of utter cruelty against Jews on the other, apparently with little or no feelings of empathy or pity.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sadly enough, one could add many other examples such as the genocide perpetrated by the Serbs against the Bosnians in the Balkan war, or by the Hutu against the Tutsi in Rwanda, both occurring in the 90s of the last century.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In all these cases, the crimes were committed against a group that had previously lived in peaceful neighborhoods with the perpetrators and had \ufb01rst to be de\ufb01ned as an outgroup, often on the basis of highly questionable criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thus, the capacity of empathy as such is apparently not su\ufb03cient to be felt and realized towards all members of the human species as a matter of course. A \ufb01rst assumption would be that its extension beyond the primary group requires an additional identi\ufb01cation with the other as one\u2019s equal, which in social philosophy is usually conceived as a relationship of reciprocal recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A further conclusion can be drawn from the historical examples: through a kind of rede\ufb01nition and a corresponding reframing of interpersonal perception, recognition may be withdrawn or denied.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then people who previously belonged quite naturally to one\u2019s own community, right up to one\u2019s immediate neighbors or acquaintances, may suddenly become outsiders, pariahs, or unpersons towards whom even basal human feelings of empathy or compassion are no longer felt. Empathy may then be \u201cunhooked\u201d, as it were, or dissociated.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The question of how this unsettling dissociation of empathy may be explained is the central topic of my paper. This question is not easy to answer, and to prepare the ground, we will need a rather broad basis in social philosophy and psychology. An important concept in this context consists in the notion of recognition as introduced famously by Hegel in the Phenomenology of Mind (1807 \/ 1967), and readopted more recently by Cavell (1969), Taylor (1992), and Honneth (1996,2008), among others. The recognition or acknowledgment of the other as a person to whose claim or call I have to respond has been proposed as a fundament of human relationships, sometimes even as a presupposition of empathy itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Recognition may be denied, however, in particular as a result of a deprivation of the fundamental claims and rights that a person enjoys as a member of a community of mutual obligations. Such experiences of misrecognition and social exclusion often result in a \u201cstruggle for recognition\u201d (Honneth 1996) on the part of individuals or whole groups who su\ufb00er from the discrimination.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They are usually connected to a withdrawal or lack of empathetic feelings on part of the members of the discriminating group. This helps to specify the question I want to investigate in the following, namely how empathy is connected to (a) recognition and (b) group identity in such a way that a lack or loss of empathetic feelings may occur under certain circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This can be further expressed by the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2013 What is the nature of empathy? Should we regard it as a primary form of interpersonal connectedness or rather as being dependent on antecedent recognition and identi\ufb01cation with the other?<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2013 How far does empathy reach? Is there something like a general empathetic disposition (\u201cuniversal empathy\u201d) that can be restricted or suspended secondarily, or is empathy only gradually and under certain conditions extended from one\u2019s kin to outgroup members?<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2013 What are the presuppositions for a withdrawal of empathy from other people? What are the mechanisms of exclusion that cause a dissociation of empathy?<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/38296434\/Empathy_Group_Identity_and_the_Mechanisms_of_Exclusion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/38296434\/Empathy_Group_Identity_and_the_Mechanisms_of_Exclusion<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 17px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<hr style=\"color: #919090; background-color: #919090; height: 2px; border: none;\" \/>\n<div style=\"height: 97px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; width: 350px; border-radius: 20px; border: thin solid black; padding: 10px; margin: 0 auto; font-weight: 650; background-color: #fff; color: #000;\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The antithesis of Empathy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87890b3\" data-id=\"87890b3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7da657 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d7da657\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3723507 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3723507\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2103e54f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2103e54f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c18ea4f\" data-id=\"5c18ea4f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30441c94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"30441c94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/empathymatters.org\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flying_monkey.jpg\" alt=\"flying_monkey\" width=\"506\" height=\"385\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><!-- h4 style=\"height: 94px;\">When the narcissist curses your name publicly and demands total control... the \"<a href=\"https:\/\/psychcentral.com\/pro\/exhausted-woman\/2017\/03\/5-ways-narcissists-smear-others#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smear Campaign<\/a>\" has begun.<\/h4 --><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 0px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Flying Monkeys<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8216;Flying Monkey&#8217; is the term given to those &#8216;<strong>agents<\/strong>&#8216; and allies that collude with an &#8216;abusive&#8217; person.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 34px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The role of each &#8216;Flying Monkey&#8217; is to continue carrying out the initial abuse by tormenting the &#8216;victim&#8217; on the abuser&#8217;s behalf.
