Thick Skin vs Emotional Algebra | Handling Hate & Comments Online | Emotional AlgebraIn this clip from Emotional Algebra with Dr. E..., Dr. E... breaks down what’s really happening when people attack you in the comments, quote-tweet your words, or throw sarcasm and hate at your posts. Instead of simply saying “grow a thicker skin,” he invites us to look deeper at why people respond the way they do—and what their reactions reveal about their own emotional algebra.Sarcasm, flippancy, aggression, and hate often say more about the commenter’s unmet needs, fear, or insecurity than they do about you. At the same time, Dr. E... reminds us to examine our own emotional algebra: why we feel the need to respond, explain, or defend, and how saying less can sometimes be the most powerful choice.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by online criticism or misunderstood on social media, this conversation offers a different lens: it’s not just about becoming tougher—it’s about becoming more aware.🔔 Watch the full episode here: [https://youtube.com/@ErikFisherakaDrE]Follow Dr. E... for more insights:📍Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents]📍Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr]📍LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore]📍TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents]📍Twitter/X: [https://x.com/dctre]📍Spotify Podcast:[https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA]#EmotionalAlgebra #DrE #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #CommunicationSkills #Mindfulness #ChooseWisely #EmotionalRegulation #ConflictResolution #PersonalGrowth #MentalWellness #HealthyCommunication
Conflict Escalation & Social Pressure | Mental Toll | Rebroadcast S1E5 | Emotional AlgebraIn this episode of Emotional Algebra, Dr. E... and Andrew Tavani unpack what happens when a single press-conference moment becomes a public battleground. One person speaks in front of cameras, a short clip goes online, and suddenly millions of people who were never in the room have something to say. The commentary spreads, opinions multiply, and the speaker is no longer responding to a reporter they’re responding to the entire internet.The pressure doesn’t end when the moment is over. It continues on social media, in quote tweets, in reaction videos, in the endless dissecting of every sentence, every expression, every mistake. What used to be communication becomes branding. What used to be vulnerability becomes ammunition. What used to be a human moment becomes a viral moment.Dr. E... explores how a single statement can trigger embarrassment, humiliation, and fear. Embarrassment says, “I feel exposed.” Humiliation says, “I feel exposed and demeaned.” That difference changes everything. Hierarchies, shame, guilt, and identity collide with expectations and public judgment. At the micro level, one person is just trying to answer a question. At the macro level, millions of people are constructing a narrative about who that person is.Mental health isn’t just about what happens in a specific moment. It’s about living inside a system that rewards outrage, punishes nuance, and never forgets what was said—even after someone has already moved on.Also check out the songs inspired by these same emotional pressuresLouder than noise (R&B Gospel)https://youtu.be/H8gd4evT6HcLouder than noise (new country)https://youtu.be/yQJfRIo-O14Heal our separatenesshttps://youtu.be/u8pYFt2OBa8The Burden: I Am Overwhelm ( Allegorical, Blues Funk)https://youtu.be/_s1dC_ZFovwFollow Dr. E... for more insights: 📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr📌 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents📌Twitter/X: https://x.com/dctre📌Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA#EmotionalAlgebra #ConflictEscalation #PublicPressure #SocialMediaImpact #MentalHealthAwareness #EmbarrassmentVsHumiliation #OnlineCulture #ViralMoments #PublicJudgment #HumanVsBrand #PsychologyOfShame #DrE #EmotionalIntelligence #PressureAndPerformance #NarrativeControl #emotionalspecificity

The Psychology of Polarizing Players | Emotional Algebra In this episode, Dr. E... breaks down why certain players become polarising not just because of talent, but because of what their presence forces others to feel. Some players trigger insecurity, some trigger intimidation, and others trigger the discomfort of being seen. From intensity and aggression to calling out uncomfortable truths, Dr. E... explores the emotional mechanics behind why certain athletes attract admiration, resentment, or both.Polarisation isn’t only about performance it’s about identity, exposure, trauma, and hierarchy.Embarrassment makes us feel weak and exposed.Humiliation makes us feel exposed and demeaned.One leads to discomfort… the other leads to shame, guilt, inadequacy, rejection, judgment, and deep emotional defense.Understanding the difference at the micro level (individual emotion) and the macro level (team dynamics, fan culture, media narrative) helps us see the real psychological forces shaping players, coaches, and the audience.🔔 Watch the full episode here: [https://youtube.com/@ErikFisherakaDrE]Follow Dr. E... for more insights:📍Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents]📍Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr]📍LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore]📍TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents]📍Twitter/X: [https://x.com/dctre]📍Spotify Podcast:[https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA]#EmotionalAlgebra #DrE #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #CommunicationSkills #Mindfulness #ChooseWisely #EmotionalRegulation #ConflictResolution #PersonalGrowth #MentalWellness #HealthyCommunication

Dichotomies at Play | Fear, Control & Power S1 Ep 3 (replay) | Emotional Algebra with Dr E...In this episode of "Emotional Algebra with Dr. E...", the discussion centers around the concept of dichotomies and their influence on our interactions and emotional well-being. The episode begins with a brief recap of previous episodes, laying the groundwork for understanding the relationship between power models specifically, the Hierarchical Model and the Equity Model (00.00.18 - 00.05.49).Dr. E... explains the Hierarchical Model of power as one where individuals often seek power over each other, leading to feelings of fear and insecurity (00.06.04). In contrast, the Equity Model focuses on the idea that everyone holds the potential for equal power and emphasizes love and respect in relationships. Dr. E... stresses the importance of transitioning from a fear-based respect to a love-based respect (00.06.57 - 00.08.13).The conversation then delves into the four primary dichotomies prevalent in the Hierarchical Model: strong versus weak, good versus bad, right versus wrong, and win versus lose (00.08.51 - 00.09.09). Dr. E... explains how these dichotomies shape our temperament and interactions with the world, often leading to conflict. He distinguishes between the dichotomy of temperament—how an individual is inherently inclined to behave—and the dichotomy of choice, which develops in response to how the world interacts with those behaviors (00.10.01 - 00.11.20).Dr. E... illustrates how the misuse of these dichotomies can create dysfunction and feelings of shame or inadequacy. He emphasizes that instead of encouraging a win-lose mindset often seen in sports, it's more beneficial to create an environment where everyone can find intrinsic motivation and feel valued (00.15.11 - 00.20.05).The discussion also critiques how societal norms, such as participation trophies, can misinterpret the idea of equity, suggesting that instead of fostering a sense of achievement, they can diminish intrinsic motivation (00.20.05 - 00.21.20). This leads to reflecting on how fear shapes the expectation of winning at any cost, impacting emotional well-being (00.23.15).Throughout the episode, Dr. E... shares his views on how cultural and political dynamics reinforce these fears and dichotomies, making it essential to seek understanding and balance rather than division (00.26.46 - 00.29.34). He points out the limitations of a hierarchical mindset as seen in political discourse and calls for more compassionate and equitable approaches in our conversations (00.32.06 - 00.33.10).The episode concludes with an emphasis on the need to recognize the nuances in emotions and interactions, encouraging listeners to adopt a more balanced perspective where the focus is on mutual growth and understanding rather than solely winning or losing (00.39.03 - 00.40.11). Dr. E... teases the next episode by mentioning that they will explore the concept of the roles people play in these dynamics (00.41.07). Overall, the episode underscores the importance of addressing and reshaping the dichotomies that govern our lives to foster healthier relationships and emotional well-being.Follow Dr. E... for more insights: 📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr📌 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents📌Twitter/X: https://x.com/dctre📌Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA#EmotionalAlgebra #DrE #EmotionalIntelligence #PowerDynamics #Hierarchy #Empathy #FearAndControl #HumanBehavior #Mindset #EmotionalHealth #Psychology #SelfAwareness #Podcast
