Why You Feel Good or Bad: The AGENT & the SYSTEM Explained

Описание: In this video, Tampa psychotherapist Leah Benson dives into the concept of affect, AKA mood, as understood in predictive processing. In the video, you'll discover why you feel good or bad and what’s happening in your brain and body as you do.

Hint: it starts with your brain doing its job to predict your body’s needs (like glucose, rest, or magnesium) which generates feelings to guide your actions.

Leah explores how pleasant or unpleasant moods are tied to your progress toward goals, like getting a raise or finding a partner, and how mismatches between expectations and reality shape how you feel.

Leah also explains why cravings persist even when you want to change habits (like quitting alcohol), as your brain’s “system” fights to maintain old patterns. Tune in to understand the interplay between your body’s automatic responses and your conscious goals, and how to navigate the discomfort of change.
