Hot take: having a range of emotions is normal. Yes, sometimes the depth of them can be pathological, and there are tools and treatments to help. But just because you are experiencing an emotion doesn't mean you have a diagnosis, and misusing this language can be dangerous - both for those who do have one, and for you.

In today's episode, Beth and Joyce discuss how to decipher whether you're having a typical feeling or something more, the mind-body bond, why mood follows behavior, and the power of language (spoiler alert: it plays a bigger role than we give it credit for!)
