A Chat on Mental Health: Deconstructing Stigma Associated with Emotional Expression | Be True to You

#MentalHealth #EmbracingSelf #Authenticity  Hello Everyone,   Welcome to our first segment on Mental Health, this week 😊   In today's discussion, we're going to talk about why emotion is such a taboo topic.  Specifically, we are going to deconstruct why society tries to censor degrees of emotional expressiveness, that is simply tied to living a human experience.  So many of us feel the need to dissociate from our emotions in order to fully function in communal settings. So many of us have experienced judgment and criticism for "allowing" our emotions into the conversation.    We, as people, are as much emotional as we are cerebral, and it's about time to deconstruct the systems and protocol in place, that make us feel as though our emotions are out of place.   #MentalHealth #EmotionalExpression #SocietalNorms #Deconstruct #LetsRethinkThis #NewNormal #LivingTrueToYou  *RESOURCES*   - Why Expressing Your Emotions Shouldn't Be Taboo: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-expressing-your-emoti_b_9834400  - The Fear of Feelings at Work: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/05/feelings-at-work/524970/  - Gender and Emotion Expression: A Developmental Contextual Perspective: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4469291/ -   For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!  We post bi-weekly:  https://www.spe-projectpurpose.com/blogs  Make sure to come visit us, subscribe to the website, and join our Member's Area for more valuable content:   *SOCIALS*  Website: www.spe-projectpurpose.com   Facebook Page: @ProjectPurposeSPE  Instagram: @ProjectPurposeSPE or my personal account @realistrae  Twitter: @Purpose_SPE  Pinterest: @ProjectPurposeSPE    Podcast: "Support, Protect, Empower - The Project Purpose Podcast"   Now available on the following platforms:    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7k0gdzY6ID8YHD7yxKiuE8?si=WgsMrqSaSfCCEppQOwXOgg  Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/support-protect-empower-project-purpose-podcast  Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81YWMxNDNhMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==  RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/support-protect-empower-project-WDgk4l  PocketCasts: https://pca.st/a2hgm7lh  Anchor.fm: https://anchor.fm/projectpurposespe  If you'd like to read my research thesis, "ADHD: Is it a Social Construct or does it have a Neurophysiological Basis?" you can find it at the following address:   https://rachellerealist.wordpress.com​​.   ​I'm more than happy to answer your questions, feel free to send an email to: [email protected]   OUR AUTONOMY, SELF-EFFICACY, COMPASSION & SELF-CONCEPT WORKSHOPS ARE AVAILABLE (AGES 4-8, 9-13 & 14-17) BE SURE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE AND MAKE YOUR PURCHASE!    Do you like the intro/outro music?   Check out the artist on Spotify:   Artist Name: Valdii  Song Name: I Learn
