Just like financial budgeting allows us to have more control over our money, emotional budgeting allows us to have more control over our feelings. Our brains are processing instruments, and we can think about our emotions like files. In order to effectively process our emotions, we need to develop the equivalent of an emotional filing system, and this realm is exactly where today’s guest’s field of expertise lies. Paul Sambataro is a retired school psychologist and the creator of the concept of Emotional Budgeting (on which he has authored two books). In today’s episode, Paul and I discuss the fact that a behavior always has a root cause, and how, through using his methodology, we can help our children (and ourselves) appropriately deal with these underlying triggers through changing our brains!
