Helping young people understand their emotions: Inside outside vision – Louise Hayes

In this video, Dr Louise Hayes explores the concept of “Inside outside vision” – a powerful skill to help us and young people recognise the difference between how we appear on the outside and how we feel on the inside.

This technique is ideal for enhancing emotional understanding, improving communication, and creating deeper connections with others. Perfect for parents, teachers, friends, and anyone working with young people, this approach encourages empathy and helps everyone to better support one another.
