Being Well Podcast: Emotional Intelligence: Improving Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, and Empathy

What do we really mean when we say “emotional intelligence,” and how can we become emotionally intelligent over time? In this episode Dr. Rick and Forrest explore emotional intelligence, including what’s “in” it, balancing emotional closeness and distance, and how we can become more self-aware, self-regulated, and empathic.

The post Being Well Podcast: Emotional Intelligence: Improving Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, and Empathy first appeared on Dr. Rick Hanson.
