Today Gillian rogers and Jas Mendola look at identity needs and how they influence our emotions.

In part two of our look into Emotional Granularity we run through a list of emotions on “the emotion wheel” and the associated needs underlying these emotions in order to give you consideration to all the different nuances needed to develop your emotional vocabulary and understanding.

Emotional Granularity is the ability to identify and respond to emotions in all their nuances instead of reacting to the overall wave of the emotional current as washes over a situation. That ability to pause, identify and dig down into that emotional information is essential for good communication and well being. We have a look at where the idea of emotional granularity came from and how it’s linked to our emotional bytes.

The final part of our trilogy of respect we look at power dynamics, punishment and how to approach conflict with the aim of understanding and communication instead of control and manipulation. Family is something that can be a constant where we learn lessons about relationships that we can apply to the wider world.

Today we take a look at disrespect, conflict and communication respect from a personal and practical point of view as our host examines respect in the context of his relationship with his own daughter.

Today we look at the concept of respect in a family situation including the evolving nature of respect and what a “respect toolkit” might look like to enable others to feel respected. We also look at interdependence theory and how that relates to respect.

Should respect be something that is practiced by all or something that is given to all? There are many social nuances to respect related to how we behave and how we treat each other. Should respect be given freely or should it be earned? How do our actions influence the respect we recieve?

Today we contest Limerence with Authentic Love. What is it? What does it look like? How do we cultivate it? How do we recognise and attract authentic love?
