Meta-emotions (our feelings about our feelings) grow out of our beliefs about emotions, which are colored by our culture, upbringing, and past experiences. These beliefs play a big part in how we do, or don’t, express and process our feelings and have a big impact on our wellbeing.
They may cause us to get stuck in a swirl of thoughts that keep the emotion churning for hours, days, or even years! Luckily, research has shown that our beliefs about feelings can be changed.
