Resetting Our Relationship with Emotions

Acknowledging and naming negative emotions can empower individuals rather than give power to the emotions. In the podcast, the speaker, Dr. Larry Santos, highlights the importance of confronting emotions like sadness, anxiety, and guilt in 2022. The discussion emphasizes that suppressing emotions leads to increased experiences of negative emotions. By recognizing and understanding emotions in oneself and others, individuals can gain insights into the signals these emotions convey. The podcast stresses the value of addressing a wide range of emotions, from anger signaling a need for change to the often overlooked feeling of 'languishing' between depression and thriving.
