Janice Yamoka is the host of MyKultura, a podcast about what happens when your safe space isn't always safe from vice. She shares her tips on how to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings that are present by noticing them in a non-judgmental way. In all emotions, all parts of the brain are activated - you may get thoughts without kind of strong emotional responses but you certainly have thoughts as part of feelings and emotions. All episodes of party crews, the untold story, can be found at iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
