Labeling of emotions is a critical aspect of moving from brooding, which involves judgment- usually right, I mean doesn't judgment almost always lead to brooding and self-obsession, which takes us out of human connection, which is the very thing that can open us up to healing and feeling a part of, and feeling peace.
Why do we judge ourselves for feeling the way we do? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin chats with Dr. Susan David, a Harvard Medical School research psychologist, about the pervasive habit of self-judgment and its impact on our mental well-being. Dr. David, whose TED Talk 'The Gift and Power of Emotional Courage' went viral, dives into the science behind toxic self-judgment and how it shapes our lives.
She also opens up about her own experiences growing up in South Africa during Apartheid and dealing with the loss of a parent at a young age. Through this engaging conversation, Dr. David highlights the importance of emotional courage and compassion, offering practical advice on how to manage our feelings more healthily. She touches on societal pressures, postpartum depression, and motherhood, shedding light on how we can separate what we control from what we don’t. Dr.
David emphasizes that labeling our emotions is crucial to moving away from brooding and self-obsession, which often lead to isolation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand their emotions better and find peace within themselves.
