Apply Emotional Granularity to High-Stakes Situations
In times of political stress and tension, vague emotions can blur our judgment and derail communication. This session teaches emotional granularity – the skill of naming feelings with precision – to support self-regulation, thoughtful decision-making, and sustainable engagement. You will learn how greater, refined emotional vocabulary leads to greater agency, and how to apply this practice across civic and political settings.
