The Science of Emotions & Relationships
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 05. 2024
- In this episode, I discuss the biology of emotions and moods in the context of relationships. I focus on the science of how early infant-caregiver attachment, combined with adolescence and puberty shapes our adult patterns of attachment. I explain the three universal aspects of emotions, the reality of right-brain versus left-brain personalities, and how the roots of adult attachment are also grounded in specific aspects of puberty. I review what factors determine when puberty starts and ends, and the role of oxytocin and other chemicals in controlling how we perceive and remember others. As always, I refer to various practical tools including new tools for understanding and predicting our emotions before they occur, and neurochemicals that shape human connection.

*Topic request: The science of attraction. But also the neurology of losing attraction.* Thank you!
For both sexes, and not only romantic, but friendships, family relationships etc.
Need this!
Dopamine D2 receptor down-regulation, + Oxytocin reduction + 5-HT1A post synaptic receptor desensitisation + Increased Prolactin + Down-regulation of M4R receptor.
Yeeeeeeeeeees!!
Sensible request. Why do i suspect oxytocin is going to show up there too.
As someone who can't afford therapy or really any kind of medical care, I wanted to thank you for giving people all of this information for free.
Yes, even with insurance finding the therapist who is knowledgeable on this topic, is a great help.
This podcast is a gold mine.. the knowledge that you share is unbelievable.. I'm just an uneducated idiot from a third world country, i don't understand every technical words that you say.. but I do enjoy very much all the information that I get out of it. To have a person with your education sharing it to the word for free is just a pure gift, so thank you.
Same here bro, from SEA however dont undermine yourself. Education is free nowadays.
@@alfonsonicolasbacusmo3820 But with the amount of misinformation that pollutes that market, it still requires a lot of work to reach good sources.
This podcast makes me regret choosing technology as career option. neuroscience is so fancy...
The true mark of an educated person is the ability and desire to learn then to use the knowledge. I don’t think you’re uneducated.
Thank you for being so humble. I, too, recognize my ignorance and am so grateful to Dr. Huberman. Totally relate! (BTW, I'm an educator, but this field is excitingly new to me! 😊)
"Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science based tools for everyday life." has become the highlight of my Mondays!!
LITERALLY!!!
Bigg facts
"and as always, thank you for your interest in science"
It has a Pavlov style conditioning effect on me, as if listening to this sentence in his voice triggers my nervous system to start focusing and learning
I love the intro. It's catchy.
What a time to be alive to be able to listen to such high quality content about the cutting edge of neurobiology/neuroscience
And for free, the comment section is also so supportive. Knowing that we are all on the path of learning is so comforting.
I've gotten at least seven different friends from all walks interested in your lectures since the podcast began, and all of them have gained something from it. (Myself included.) Such powerful work, Doc. You're a good egg.
Thank you ever so much for the feedback and support. That is very gratifying to hear. Best wishes, Andrew
@@hubermanlab you couldn't be more welcome. 😉
You're lucky, not only in that you have more than seven friends, but that you have seven friends who are interested in neuroscience. There is absolutely no one in my life, not now or ever, who has expressed the least interest in what I consider to be an incredibly fascinating subject, even to a layperson such as myself.
@@12thDecember - you have friends here :)!
@@12thDecember Initially I spent my free time sharing info and most people ignored me, so I stopped talking (teaching) and started listening (learning) and saved alot of time and energy for future friendships. I only know 3 people who care unfortunately. I do think the regulars could create a social media group or network. Huberman is saving my life one video at a time, so crazy that this info is free! Thank you Huberman!
Hi Doc
I am a medical scribe. I have been listening to your podcast for a long time. Now, while working with physician's I happen to notice your name a lot. Physician's have been recommending your podcast for dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. Your most prominent one is dopamine pathways. Proud moment for your Sir. You are changing the world.
Keep it up Sir
Experiencing The Dr. HUBERMAN EFFECT= Happiness on Mondays
Lol exactly! I enjoy Mondays more now 😅
Lol same my favourite day of the week now
Yep! Always looking forward to mondays now.
Yes!
Haha aww same here
THANK YOU SIR! I have intense social anxiety around extended family gatherings and love the interdiction to this topic.
A podcast strictly focused on “SOCIAL ANXIETY” would be awesome 👏🏼 🙏🏼
Upvoted for recognition

It really would I know that there are some events that just make me feel overwhelmed sometimes. I would like to know the reasoning behind those feelings.

Emotions fall on three different ranges. (Possibly more)
- Good / bad (aka Valence)
- Interoceptive to exteroceptive
- Alert to calm
Emotions serve a purpose, but they are best understood by how they were received when looking at your infancy and adolescence.
(Were you taken care of properly as a baby and as a teenager, physically and emotionally?)
This also ties back to Attachment Styles Theory.
Emotional bonds are made through gaze (eye contact), physical touch, voice, and affect (more on this!!)
In social situations, it is far better to be exteroceptive.
An interoceptive exercise (a lot like meditation): focus all of your attention inward. Points of gravity, heartbeat, breathing, etc.
An exteroceptive exercise is a lot like practicing mindfulness. Focus all of your attention on a small object. (Pencil, water bottle, etc.)
Puberty is happening earlier because of higher body fat (and thus leptin levels.) It has been found that injecting leptin into pre-adolescants will start puberty.
Whether or not pheromones exist in humans is very controversial, but in Dr Huberman's viewpoint, it may exist.
There is a tendency in humans and other species that from the start to the end of puberty, they will start to drift away from caregivers and spend more time with friends.
Parents should not fear; this is a natural biological change for teenagers to want to spend less (but not no) time with them.
There are differences in right brain and left brain, but the stereotype that right is emotional and left is rational is wrong. There is no evidence for this.
Oxytocin promotes bonding, loyalty, etc.
Vitamin D and melatonin can increase oxytocin.
Vasopressin suppresses urination, increases memory, and creates feelings of love. Vasopressin can relate to whether or not humans participate in monogamy or non-monogomy.
The vagus nerve is a nerve that connects the brain to the heart, gut, immune system, etc. There is a myth that stimulating the vagus nerve will calm you.
Stimulation of the vagus nerve releases dopamine and increases alertness. It is a stimulant of alertness, the opposite of the myth.
This is a lot of content, equivalent to 2 or 3 college lectures.

Doc, this should information be on every level of education curriculum. That would make the world a better place. Lack of understanding of emotions has a lot to do with the anger and hate all around. It’s exhausting. 💖
Sounds like exteroception! I am applying knowledge haha
Yes!!!😎👍🏽✌🏽
I agree with you.. hope New Zealand adopt this soon ( Mention this country because up to now is the country that makes the most futuristic movements towards well-being. But any other country , please do so as soon as possible).
I agree but this would be a threat to the government schools practice of indoctrination rather than real education. The greatest danger to the educational status quo would be the giving students the ability to think critically and have personal agency.
Yes. Child development too.
I never thought I would ever find neuroscience so interesting or be smart enough to understand it. These podcasts and tools have literally changed my life...the only way I can repay you is to share them with people, Thankyou Dr Huberman...my mesolimbic pathway goes crazy every Monday🤪 Keep em coming!
I can’t believe this material is free. Thank you, Andrew Huberman!!
At this rate Dr Huberman will have a 100 million dollar deal from Spotify by the fall.
Dear god I hope not. I don't want him removing this from CZcams.
I’m sure he won’t, I was just saying this is better than joe rogan’s podcast IMO.
😬please no. He deserves the money but I do not want that lame app.

I just took two pages of notes. I have 4 kids, but my 3rd, 14 year old son is very shy. I worry so much about his emotional state. This podcast is extraordinary I’m so grateful for the info🤍
Can you share your notes pls. I wish we can do something like that here
Can you share your notes pls?
You can start a group on FB with Dr. Huberman’s permission, possibly? I would assume one already exists...
Definitely agree we need a group to share notes on facebook or some platform created to discuss topics related to specific videos
@@kylehall4275 if this has been made I would like to join
I just got out of a relationship where my significant other was really closed off and I was very much the opposite. I was hoping and praying Huberman would make a relationship episode for the past few days! I cant wait to watch this, and once again, thank you for pretty much changing my life! I look at my emotional responses so differently, and I cannot tell you enough how much that means to me, to have the tools and techniques to gauge and better myself. Thank you Huberman Lab!

Thank you Dr. Huberman for all of the life changing information that you share. Listening to your Podcasts I liken to taking a condensed college class on an Amazingly broad spectrum of topics. Your podcasts have improved my quality of life by helping to understand issues in depth and equally important is that you provide plans of action to help us as individuals have more control over helping improve our own health without treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals as a first resort. Thank you, thank you!
This man deserves a nobel peace prize🙏🖤🖤
What was your favorite part of this podcast?!
I agree
I agree he’s young yet but I see one in the future. He is truly a rare individual leaving the academic ivory tower with the ability and inclination to bring this wisdom to the layman. I have learned so much from him and am seeing significant improvements in my life.

Oddly enough, every topic comes out at the same time I need information about that particular topic.... this is amazing!
It's hilarious when he says " if you're asleep, you're probably not comprehending what I'm saying "
I love all these. It's amazing information articulated and communicated so well!
Thank you for all the time you put into this !
What I’ve learned today: our emotions are always optimizing for our survival which is very empowering because:
1. Gives me a sense of trust that I’m always optimizing for my greatest good- especially when experiencing difficult emotions!
2. Helps me see that certain emotions have simply been running on autopilot because of conditioning, but now knowing their purpose, I can more easily remove judgement and seek to understand WHY these emotions surface and what I really need in those moments rather than being swept away by the emotion.
Really puts you in the driver’s seat.
Thank you Dr. Huberman! ❤️ I’m a weekly listener, reconstructing my life view week over week with the knowledge you share.
@Miriam illions - there IS quite a self-limiting downside to our brain's proclivity for 'survival'. Survival is a minimum state, not max., which is THRIVE. Big difference btw. surviving and thriving. This is why change is so hard. That protective part of our brain that wants merely to keep us alive, constantly resists changing things up, for the better, i.e., 'thriving'.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 that’s a really good point! For me, knowing that the brain is optimizing for survival removes self-judgement and that’s why I find it empowering. It’s easier to thrive when you have high self esteem and positive self regard, than when you’re constantly beating yourself up.
I am wondering now - is it possible for the brain to learn to optimize for thriving rather than surviving?
Miriam illions - for me, the brain's wanting only for our survival causes great angst, because I am trying so hard to effect change (for the better) in my life and I feel like the survival part of my brain is constantly fighting me on this. I know it is this way for our survival...has to do with our physiology's homeostasis system (which is a term that, IMO, can easily be subbed for 'status quo').
Homeostasis keeps our bodily functions in balance and we'd be dead without it, as far as the way our ANS functions.
But, for instance, have you ever experienced trying to make big changes in your habits, for instance to improve your lifestyle, and you end up feeling SO uncomfortable with these changes, to the point they just feel so WRONG - like your body & brain are just begging you to slide back into your old habits.
And then if you do manage to effectuate these changes - the pendulum you just swung in the direction of effective change, begins to swing back again. And once your vigilance on maintaining these changes relaxes, you can find yourself right back in the same position, only sometimes the pendulum has swung so far back in the other direction, we are worse off than before.
Case in point, people losing weight by sheer will power, then relaxing their willpower because they've been 'successful'- and as a result gain all the weight back, plus more. So now, after all that effort, they weigh more than they did before they began their campaign to lose weight.
This, I believe, can (at least partly) be blamed on homeostasis and our brain's wilfulness to 'survive' - but whether we survive 'optimally', or merely survive by 'scraping by'... this part of our brain 'doesn't care' - as long as we are 'alive' - that appears to be the objective....and making changes, especially significant ones, can be viewed by the brain as 'risk-taking' behavior.
Not that I believe the brain is actually sitting there evaluating everything we do as 'risk', 'non-risk'...I'm sure this distinction is primarily biologically assessed, via neurotransmitters and their receptors in the body that would effectuate this result - 'keep the status quo.' Disturb the status quo, and we could get ourselves killed.
I don't know about 'teaching our brains' to thrive, rather than just survive - not that simply, anyway.
Real, lasting change has to take place internally, (our belief system), i.e., not with willpower alone, but thru the process of changing our mindset - our beliefs about ourselves. Willpower does need to be exerted to a certain extent, but will power is not the whole picture or the lone tool we need.
Internal change, i.e., changing our beliefs about ourselves CAN be done, but it takes alot of hard work, wilfull intent, diligence, and vigilance, to effectuate.
I intellectually 'know' this, but thinking & knowing is only philosophy in the absence of acting upon it. Action is behavior. Doing it is an entirely different animal from knowing it. We need both, and it is SO easy to be fooled into thinking we are 'taking action' if we remain stuck in the thinking/philosophical stage.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 I think you nailed it when you said that the belief system has to change in order for us to change our behaviors permanently for the better. Yes, I have experienced the pendulum swing, but then I learned about how our beliefs drive our thoughts which drive our feelings, which drive our actions. So I began to focus more on the beliefs, because action that goes against a core belief is not sustainable. The pendulum will swing back, to borrow your description.
For example, I began studying psychology last year at the age of 36. It’s something I wanted to do for the past 15 years, but was never able to get myself to do it. Instead of pushing against that, I went inward, did all the soul searching, facing my past, etc - and then I was ready. It took years, but I’m here now, doing it. It wasn’t as simple as changing a belief, it was years of inner work, but my approach to change is to be gentle, loving, and when experiencing strong resistance, going inward to examine why rather than pushing harder.
The Wisdom of Anxiety by Sheryl Paul is a great book for more about the going inward practice.
Topic request: Executive Dysfunction! Please Dr Huberman, cause so many of us are trying to overcome this. It can be incredibly debilitating and understanding how to overcome the challenges to succeed with a different brain, especially for us adults who found out later in life we have it (whether it’s cause of a TBI, PTSD, ADHD, Austism, Dyslexia etc) cause our brains need more work. 😭🙏🏽
I have been diagnosed with PTSD this has helped me so much more than therapy and drugs. I took myself off 9 prescription drugs in the fall of 2016 it was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through but the best thing.
@@elizabethhouser822 that's excellent. With knowledge we can find ways to treat ourselves. Well done you.
I have been using the “mood meter” over 5 years. It’s great to granulate an emotion. The new book “permission to feel” is a good reference too.
Thank you. I will check out the book!
Best,

Someone recently introduced this podcast to my life and I can say it’s literally influential and keep adding meanings to my day
Mondays have a new meaning because of your podcasts. I look forward to it. Thank you for enlightening us, Dr. Huberman!
I feel so happy when new episode appears on my recommended page. I always write down what I learned in a note and I search and buy almost all the supplements mentioned in the podcast. You are doing such an amazing work and I'm so eager to learn
Thank you for the podcast Dr. Huberman. I first heard you on Rich Roll last summer and have since tracked down everywhere I can hear you speak. Haven't missed an episode of your show since its inception. The tools you've taught me have been greatly beneficial, and have given me the confidence to launch my career as a self-employed artist (making music under the moniker Blue Sails). Thanks again Dr. Huberman!
Keep doing what u doing man. Big love and respect. Also big love to everyone reading this 💚
I'm so absolutely amazed and happy that podcasts like this exist. Thank you for your time!

Thank you so much, Professor! Have an excellent start for the week and please take care of yourself. With the very best regards from Scandinavia, Sakura, your Student for Life!
Once again, I am better equipped because of Huberman Lab Podcasts. Thank you. What a time to be alive (wishes are futile, e.g. "wish I had had this in middle school").
I am creating into the universe the real experience of thanking you face to face. Thank you Andrew for all you have done to create these episodes it's much more than just making a video and doing research and I am very inspired by you. Thank you.
I’m so addicted to these videos. I watch them over and over. Such a great resource of knowledge
I give his videos a Like even before listening to them...
Me too! Glad I’m not the only one. You just know though, every one has been gold!
So do I. I know I need the information . 🏜👩🦳💜🌺

Amazing episode! I clearly remember around age 12 walking with my parents in the mall and being horrified at the thought of any of my friends seeing me walking together with my parents.😁 I haven’t thought about that until today!
1:36:57 “consciousness, there I said the word”. Pure gold!
I appreciate your work, generosity, humbleness, and so much more qualities that brings you to do the word you do! Thank you for such beautiful episode even as a PsyD with a background in microbiology, I found this refreshing and helpful in bridging the information and the training I have.
Your podcast was recommended to me by a friend. I found this episode absolutely fascinating. It clarified a lot of things I have been researching myself recently. I look forward to hearing further episodes.
This is a magnificent Monday, thanks to the hubermanlab podcast
So that's why I instinctively take out my phone for no reason , when I feel awkward. Makes perfect sense , I noticed mysel and many other people did too and hypothesized it was to anchor ourselves in something we are familiar and comfortable with instead of sitting with our awkwardness. Next time I will make an effort to sit with the awkwardness and embrace it.
Listening to a Huberman podcast while doing my meal prep is a weekly thing for me
It’s been an emotional day, but science is making me feel better! Thanks Dr H!
Thank you professor.
This podcast has more information than a book.
Andrew, thanks so much for these videos. You're doing something truly important and paradigm-shifting by democratising learning. Will be signing up to donate what I can!
Thank you for these lectures. They make my life so much more interesting and meaningful. I spent 20 years of my youth studying psychology, sociology, educational psychology and social work. Now being retired I had no hope to get a chance to pursue my intellectual interests but your lectures make me hopeful and alive, intellectually. In my book you are a Saint or a Prophet.
Great episode! Your subtle humor is perfect, Dr H! Amazing how you include so much info but make it fun to learn about for both academia-nuts like myself and anyone seeking practical advice. Cheers and thanks!
It’s great to start the week with this. Thank you!
Andrew, can you please touch on seasonal affective disorder at some point? I would love to move back north to my friends and family, but so far the only solution I've found is living in the south.
Yes. Will do. Thank you!
I believe that supplementing vitamin D3 and K2 (which helps the D3 go to the right places) can sustain vitamin D levels such as to negate the lack of sun exposure driving SAD. Supplementing vitamin D doesn't provide everything that sunlight does, but it goes a long way.
@ojanya Have you tried those lamps made for this purpose? (Don’t know the name.) A friend of mine claims it made going through winter in the north possible for her.
I absolutely love your podcasts, always feel inspired and enlightened! This one really hit home for me. Thank you so much!!!❤
Love your work and this podcast.
I recently did a WellBeing program launch for GHD the engineering firm i work for. Over 825 people watched the live event and now watched the recording. I spoke about using breathing techniques such as the physiological sigh to calm yourself.
I used the technique to keep myself calm and stop the frontal lobotomy prior to my time to speak as I've never done anything like it before.. I also used the event to introduce my co-workers to your podcast. The response was amazing.
Thank you so much for this podcast, it has made and is making a major difference to people lives.
Thank you
This is phenomenal! My new working hypothesis served on a silver platter. The holy Trinity we shall call it - or so.
Mondays is much much better because of you!
Thank you for sharing in such an outstanding manner. If I can’t sit in your lab or class, I will graciously accept this. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this episode! I took so many notes --- the breakdown on interoception and exteroception is so invaluable!!!
Andrew, I don't know if you read comments but this podcast is exceptional. Excellent information and very well presented. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information! Every parent should understand puberty at this level. I wish I would have known this then.
I just love how smart you are & your calm voice. I just absolutely love learning from you.❤
I can’t believe this material is free. Thank you, Andrew Huberman!!. I can’t believe this material is free. Thank you, Andrew Huberman!!.
It's incredible how you change my life Andrew. Present!
The interactive component of this episode is a welcome addition! Wouldn't mind if there will be more of that in the future!
I am so grateful for this incredible podcast. Absolutely beyond comparison. The best info I've ever gotten on so called self improvement.
I just had a major breakthrough + epiphany. When you mentioned the Interoceptive- Exteroceptive dynamic, I immediately thought of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and how we use a similar tool to prevent patients from feeling overwhelmed or to reduce distress if they are experiencing uncomfortable emotions.
This was such an excellent, rich, valuable episode! So grateful! Would love to hear more nuance about 'affect' vs. 'emotions' - they kind of got lumped together here.
Thank youuu I already know this is gonna be another smashing episode
Thank you so much once again, Dr Huberman! Outstanding content!
Discovering about being interoceptive vs exteroceptive was perhaps one of the most useful tools I have learned, I have found myself already making a habit of incorporating awareness of these states into my day and trying to find more balance. Request for future episode: you mentioned that you will have a section on trauma, I would really love to hear more about interoception/exteroception in relation to trauma (specifically childhood). I’m also curious how dissociation relates to the two, I can’t quite figure out which it would fall under as it feels like you’re disconnected from both your thoughts and your surroundings. I think this could be enormously helpful for a lot of people and would even be a great topic to have a guest speaker come on for!
So so grateful for this podcast- thank you for investing so much time and energy into giving us these science based tools to help navigate a happier and healthier life. Truly nothing more valuable ♥️
It's such amazing podcast to listen to every morning 😍 high concentrated value and very carefully delivered🌟 everyone should listen to this podcast if they are serious about learning things ♥️
professor huberman is a fucking blessing.
Invaluable information, truly appreciate how you shed some light in our paths with your priceless podcasts. Your follower from Spain!
Thank you for making these. My understanding of attachment has changed and I feel like I can understand myself a little better.
Please do a pod with Cal Newport! His work on Deep Work and your concepts on peak performance would be an epic discussion.
I am so relieved. I might get this sorted after all. Thank you for ever.
I got into all this about a year ago now -- i sleep-walked into some 'adventurous' lives that were perhaps emotionally taxing at times, but after all that (in normal brick dwellings once again) I accidentally consumed aspartame cola & a fermented food *almost* simultaneously -- boom, I fell into an inexplicable 2-day mood suppression -- once i backtracked to realise what happened, that led me to awareness of the gut-brain connection and further study. Suddenly, armed with that visceral empathy it felt like any 'upset' person might experience those same lows from random food choices... and that's just one of factors i've come across (so far) that can explain the way we, and others, think feel or act. It's totally re-framed my perception of human interactions and sociology.
(Random semi-related aside: at some point, for weeks, raw cabbage was the unwitting culprit but within seconds of consuming butyrate/butter i was cured..!) Good luck with your quest.
What a time to be alive. Fascinating exploration of our inner world. Thank you.
Dr. Huberman has a special way of making me feel like I have more control over my life in a way a guy like Dr.Peterson made me reject over time. There is something so special about this podcast IMO.
What do you mean by that? How did Jordan Peterson influence your ability to feel control over your life in a negative way?
Sir, You have helped me so much with these podcasts. I am grateful and happy to be able to watch and listen to You and the knowledge You provide us.
Best regards from Croatia!

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Rumi, ‘The Guest House’
Whenever I think of emotions, this poem always comes to mind. 💗 I loved this episode so much! So good! When he said we don’t know we feel or how other people feel, I was kinda surprised. I feel like, I know how I feel most of the time unless I’m lying to myself about that?! I also feel like I can pick up on people’s vibes/“energies”, not in a witch kinda way but just generally. I could be projecting but I feel like I’m pretty clear what’s what (most of the time). Emotions are so complicated and subjective but I guess the beauty of them. Sensitive people like me feel things deeply and clearly, not in a snowflake-y kinda way, but I embrace them as teachers who reveal so much. 💗
