Listen "How to Handle Negative Emotions, Develop Distress Tolerance, and Avoid Toxic Positivity | Ep. 31"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Becky Kennedy from Good Inside said, "Regulating difficult emotions is a prerequisite for happiness."We have to learn how to navigate through our negative emotions and our negative experiences in order to discover a newfound joy. Suppressing it all is just distress avoidance, and that's not healthy for any of us in the long run.I know this episode will speak to so many parents that are helping to coach their kids through meltdowns and hard days... but I have a feeling that this episode is going to speak to any adult... because adults have hard days too. Plus, not everyone learned how to handle the big emotions as a kid, and it's now evident in their adult life.Drawing on research from Dr. Becky, insights from a course taught by Professor Laurie Santos, and inspiration through other timely conversations, join me as we discover how to sit on the benches in life that can feel really uncomfortable and sometimes lonely.--Course mentioned in this episode was The Science of Well-Being for Parents by Professor Laurie SantosSong mentioned in this episode was written by Tawnee Kendall from @music_forlittlesConnect with me on Instagram: @carryconfetti If you'd like to support the podcast or say thank you for a particular episode, you're welcome to buy me a coffee or purchase a poetry print here: https://buymeacoffee.com/carryconfetti
