So You’ve Been Humiliated
Listen 00:48:44Guests: June Tangney and Lisa Feldman Barrett
Even the most confident and talented among us face humiliation at some point in our lives. Whether at our own hands, or the hands of others, feeling humiliated is demoralizing and hard to get over. Today, we explore humiliation – the causes, effects, how to recover from it, and the reason it exists at all. We’ll be joined by George Mason University psychologist and expert in “moral emotions,” JUNE TANGNEY. Also, to find out what is actually occurring in the brain when we feel embarrassment, we’ll hear from psychiatrist LISA FELDMAN BARRETT, of Northeastern University.
