Emotional awareness is the capacity to notice, conceptualize and describe emotional experience, including distinctions in complexity and perspective. It is not simply paying attention to feelings, and it should not be reduced to a self-report claim that one is “emotionally aware.”

Epistemic humility is the disciplined recognition that what a person, profession or institution knows is bounded by evidence, methods, perspective and corrigibility. It is not intellectual surrender, generalized self-doubt or a requirement to treat all claims as equally uncertain.
