Why do we choose to live "by calculation" in some situations, while in others we seem to be guided by intuition? This lecture will help you see how rational and emotional work together and why the conflict between them is often more imaginary than real. The host, clinical psychologist Yaroslav Grom, will break down the differences between rationality and emotions and where they intersect. The expert will explain how the brain works when a person weighs arguments and why we sometimes act faster than we can think. One of the key topics of the lecture is the cognitive functions of emotions. Contrary to common belief, feelings do not necessarily interfere with reason. On the contrary, they help prioritize, maintain motivation, notice threats, read nuances in communication, and make decisions under uncertainty. But when emotions become too intense, we lose flexibility. The host will explain how this looks in everyday life - in studies, at work, in relationships, and in decision-making situations. There will also be a practical part. The expert will share simple self-regulation techniques that help "stop the acceleration", regain clarity, and avoid acting "on autopilot". A kind of map that makes it easier to navigate within yourself: noticing bodily signals and choosing actions that support your goals. The lecture is suitable for teenagers and adults who are curious about why we sometimes regret what we have said or done. If you want to better understand yourself and others, this meeting will provide food for thought. Ideas for where to go in Moscow are collected on our website.
