Affect labeling: naming feelings accurately
Tara walks through using an emotion wheel, asking what emotions teach you, and caring for them.
Have you ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you actually want from your life? I sit down with Tara Schuster, top journaling researcher, who is changing the way people use journaling to heal, gain clarity, and build real, lasting self-worth.
Tara shares how she went from the world’s biggest journaling skeptic to a massive advocate after it helped her out of a deep depression. We unpack the surprising science behind why journaling works—and give a step by step guide of how and when to use it for the greatest benefits. This conversation is vulnerable, hilarious, practical, and packed with tips you can use today.
