Negative emotions like sadness, anger, guilt, and anxiety can
feel overwhelming. But what if those uncomfortable feelings
aren’t problems to fix, but signals worth listening to?

As part of our series on how to spring clean your wellbeing, Dr.
Laurie revisits a conversation with Harvard Medical School
psychologist Susan David, author of Emotional Agility. Together,
they discuss why bottling up difficult feelings doesn’t work, why
brooding can keep us stuck, and what our individual emotions are
actually trying to tell us about our lives and relationships.

If you’ve ever tried to bury a bad feeling, this episode offers a
more effective approach to emotional healing.

Experts Mentioned:

Susan David, Harvard Medical School psychologist a

Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist, neurologist, and founder of
