In this podcast, we explore the incredible world of the emotional systems present in humans and animals alike. Dr Jess Bolton, a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience, shows you that your emotional systems are as vital to health as the physiological systems you are so familiar with. 

 

Just as we can't live without our respiratory or renal systems - mammals also don't survive without assertiveness and play systems.  

 

By investigating these systems we can share the science without getting caught in the web of mental health labels and disorders.

Dr Jess Bolton and Charley Lee explore the importance of feeling good ‘just because’ and how feeling good, feels incredible when all other emotional systems are activated in an approach position.  Named as the LUST system by Panksepp, they talk about seeing this system more broadly as helping us differentiate what is good for us and what is not.  There are powerful ripple effects for paying careful attention to experiences using the important lens of the emotional systems.

Step by step we investigate the power of the safety system within the human body – a system which enables us to survive in desperate times and is our key to thriving.

As a human baby, you had an innate capacity to move away from or freeze around life threatening situations; and we innately move towards safety.  

When we are safe the blood can flow freely in our brains and bodies, bringing flexibility, integration and conscious understanding of our world.
