In this episode Aniesa explores the concept of whether our feelings, emotions and reactions are just our own to control or whether other people and external factors influence them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Emotions are very complex, they are a mixture of internal and external factors, other people can have an impact on our own emotional state.
• Our emotions are closely tied to our relationships and interactions with others, something that is essential to human nature.
• There is the concept that we need to own our emotions and people can’t make us feel a certain way but it isn’t right to accept that we have no influence over other peoples feelings.
• We can pick up other peoples feelings through empathy too, it’s not always to do with how they respond to us.
• We have to learn that whilst we can’t control how we feel completely we can control to some degree how we interpret and respond to others.
