413. The Alternative to Fixing Feelings

Jody Moore
About this episode

Negative feelings are a natural, healthy part of the human experience. I'm showing you how you already have practice with accommodating uncomfortable parts of the human experience, and how to apply the same logic to sadness, loneliness, or any other negative emotion.

 

Find out why you can't fix anybody else's feelings, even your kids' feelings, how to embrace the idea that other people are going to feel bad from time to time, and how to help others without trying to fix their emotions.
