In this our 1st episode, we introduce MindSense, a new approach to emotional intelligence (abbreviated “EQ”). I like to think of it as the Psych 101 you always wanted, the psychology of YOU.

(The article version contains the transcript of this podcast.)

This is a brief overview of the MindSense model, how it came about, and a schematic showing how packets of emotions begin to accumulate and then aggregate into a messy conglomerate.

Here’s an overview I did, with slides, explaining the big picture, going from events, issues and situations “out there” through our internalizing it; dialoguing with it; rousing a variety of emotions; the reality of bodily emotions; behavioral responses; and themes.

Over the ensuing episodes, we’ll delve more deeply into each component of the model and its approaches. Hope you’ll continue to tune in.
