Die Sprache der Emotionen

Why do we sometimes feel tense, exhausted, or irritable without really knowing what's going on? Emotions often manifest first as physical sensations, rumination, or a vague inner restlessness. In this episode, Prof. Dr. Frank Godemann and Robert Schuiszils discuss how feelings can be understood in psychotherapy. Using personal examples and a case study, they illustrate how anxiety, shame, exhaustion, and anger can interact—and why recognizing and naming emotions is often the first step toward relief and change.
