256: Hilary Jacobs Hendel on How to Process Our Emotions

<p>Hilary Jacobs Hendel is a psychotherapist who switched from practicing traditional talk psychotherapy to accelerated&nbsp;experimental dynamic psychotherapy. She teaches us that our core emotions are automatic and grounded in universal physical experiences. Her new book is called, It’s Not Always Depression: Working The Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to your Authentic Self. In this episode, she goes into great instructional detail about how to identify and process your emotions&nbsp;in&nbsp;the moment. If you’ve ever felt a strong emotion&nbsp;(and who hasn’t), this episode will teach you how to move through it skillfully, rather than having your strong emotions wreak havoc in yourself and with others.&nbsp;</p><p>RxBar &amp; RxNut Butter wants to build delicious food the right way – with transparency on their simple, real ingredients.
