You Don't Really Know Your Emotions: How Your Brain Fools You Into Believing You're in Control (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9791141949013)

You don't actually feel your emotions - you interpret them.

And often, your brain gets it wrong.

In this groundbreaking book, You Don't Really Know Your Emotions, psychologist and neuroscience researcher Ryan Kim unpacks a radical yet scientifically grounded truth:

Most of what we call "emotion" is not a raw experience, but a predictive story your brain constructs to maintain a sense of control.

From the illusion of "I'm fine" to the silent screams of repressed anxiety, this book reveals how your brain labels, suppresses, and rewrites emotions-all while convincing you that you're in charge.

Based on insights from affective neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and embodied emotion theory, this book invites readers-especially women in their 20s and 30s-into a powerful emotional reeducation.

You'll learn:

• Why saying "I'm angry" might erase what you're actually feeling

• How your brain files emotional pain to protect you (but often hides it too well)

• Why "I feel nothing" can mean your emotional system is overloaded

• And how to stop overthinking and start actually feeling

Whether you're exhausted from overanalyzing, stuck in patterns that feel too familiar, or simply curious about how your inner world works-this book is your map back to emotional clarity.
