Emotions are universal – they transcend language and culture, and we all experience them every day. Why is it then they can often make us feel out of control? Why do we get overly angry or sad about things we think are unimportant to us? Why do our emotions sometimes lead us to act in ways we later regret?For the actor, how can we harness our ability to feel emotion and create truthful characters we can all relate to?In this episode, we discuss what psychologists and experts have to say about emotions, how they manifest in us and how we can better understand our own experience of them.  The Eddie Marsan Scholarship:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgWZu0Tt24oCheck out the Spiritual Psychology of Acting website:www.spiritualpsychologyofacting.com If you’d like to get in touch with us, you can do so by emailing podcast@spiritualpsychologyofacting.comIf you have any feedback, thoughts, topics you think we should cover in future episodes or questions about the Spiritual Psychology of Acting…whatever it is, we’d love to hear from you. Follow us:Instagram: SPOA - https://www.instagram.com/spiritual_psychology_of_acting/John Osborne Hughes - https://www.instagram.com/john.o.hughes1/Jordan Turk – https://www.instagram.com/jordan.turk/Twitter:SPOA - https://twitter.com/spiritualactingJohn Osborne Hughes - https://twitter.com/JOsborneHughesJordan Turk - https://twitter.com/jordantheturkFacebook: SPOA - https://www.facebook.com/SpiritualPsychologyOfActing ‘Love’ Omid 16B (EP version)Composer – Omid NourizadehCourtesy of aLOLa Records P & C 2022Published by aLOLa / Westbury Music Ltd. An Awakened State production.
