Emotions and Mental Health (Depression and Anxiety Coping Skills Podcourse) [ep. 97]

This episode is all about the normal, daily emotions we encounter each day. Listen in as Dr. Henry Emmons discusses how emotions can serve as your compass, pointing the way to what needs your attention. As you listen, you'll learn how giving your emotions the attention they seek can allow them to transform and eventually move on. Henry will also highlight the mind's inclination to seek reasons for our negative emotions, which can lead to something called self-derision. Understanding this dynamic can be transformative for your resilience and mental health.    About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.
