In this episode, Nicole offers a basic background on the philosophy of the human person as laid out by Aristotle and Aquinas, but with a specific focus on the emotions, where they come from, and what their role would have been in our state of "original integrity," which Fr. Brian Mullady uses to describe how Adam and Eve functioned (and therefore, how we are designed to function).

Since we live post-Adam and Eve, what are we supposed to do with our emotions? Nicole offers one way to start approaching our emotions in this fallen world, using the work of Dr. Diana Fosha on core emotions.
