The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan 37. Embracing the Duality of Your Emotions and Normalizing Emotional Health with Dr. Neeta Bhushan
Hey fam, grab a seat at The Brave Table with me today as I talk about emotional health and feeling all our feels, even when they contradict each other.
The topic of this episode was inspired by the 20th anniversary of my father’s death, which got me thinking about all the extremes of emotions that we go through following loss and how the best thing we can do for our healing process is to be present with it all, for better or for worse.
We’ll get into navigating grief, building resilience, and how to find the magic in the sucky human moments we’ll inevitably experience in this life.
What you’ll get out of this episode…
- Processing your feelings when going through loss
- The duality of confronting your hardships while also trying to move on
- Normalizing grief and what you can say to someone who is experiencing it
- What it means to ‘swamp your emotions’ and how to do it
- The importance of healing generational trauma
- Teaching children how to cope with their emotions and advice on how to do it
- How to come back from challenging times and heal
- Finding the joy in chaos; the magic in the unbearable
