Fluent in two languages? It comes at a cost to emotional regulation (but don't worry)
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that expressing emotions in one's second language does not activate emotional brain regions as effectively as in the native language, even for balanced bilinguals. Speaking emotionally in the first language triggers a reduction in emotional brain activity, but this effect is lost when using a second language.
