Transforming Emotions: Practical Tips from A Little Help For Our Friends

Getting to know your emotions, which emotions you might be avoiding and then therefore how you're behaving in response, can be enormously helpful in improving your life.
Ever find yourself overwhelmed by emotions like sadness, anxiety, or anger? In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon tackle the tricky terrain of intense emotions and offer practical strategies to manage them. They start by discussing how emotions can influence our actions, sometimes leading us to argue or avoid situations, which can make things worse.
The episode dives into the Unified Protocol treatment, a set of skills designed to help change these unhealthy emotional patterns. One standout skill they discuss is 'alternative action', where you replace a harmful behavior with a healthier one. They also touch on the concept of 'safety signals' and how these can sometimes reinforce negative behaviors. Jacqueline and Kibby use relatable examples and personal anecdotes to illustrate their points, making complex psychological concepts easier to grasp.
They stress the importance of understanding the short and long-term consequences of our actions and encourage listeners to seek therapy if needed. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to better manage their emotions and improve their mental well-being.
