How To Find The Gifts In Unpleasant Feelings with Dr. Joan Rosenberg

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, InsideTracker, and
Cozy Earth.   Many of us will try anything to get away from
hard feelings. Food, shopping, alcohol, screens… There is an
endless list of distractions and addictions we use to try to avoid
our emotions. But the key word here is “try,” and as much as we
might resist the tough feelings, it never really works. Today, I’m
thrilled to talk about the power of sitting with unpleasant
feelings with my guest Dr. Joan Rosenberg.  Bestselling
author, consultant, master clinician, and media host, Dr. Joan
Rosenberg is a cutting-edge psychologist who is known as an
innovative thinker, acclaimed speaker, and trainer. As a three-time
TEDx speaker and member of the Association of Transformational
Leaders, she has been recognized for her thought leadership and
influence on personal development. A California-licensed
psychologist, Dr. Rosenberg speaks on how to build confidence,
emotional strength, resilience; achieving emotional,
conversational, and relationship mastery; integrating neuroscience
and psychotherapy, and suicide prevention. She is the author of 90
Seconds to a Life You Love: How to Master Your Difficult Feelings
to Cultivate Lasting Confidence, Resilience, and Authenticity.
