Choosing Peace: Dr. Gail Brenner on Optional Suffering

The body is a great entree into being present in our lives. We feel grounded. But when I was not present, my cats and dogs would annoy and irritate me.
Imagine if suffering wasn't a given, but a choice. That's the intriguing idea explored in this episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast'. Lee Davy sits down with Dr. Gail Brenner, a clinical psychologist with over twenty-five years of experience, to discuss how we can shift our mindset and embrace a life with less suffering. Dr.
Brenner, author of 'The End of Self-Help' and 'At the Core of Every Heart', brings a wealth of knowledge and a joyful perspective to the conversation. They dive into what spirituality means, the power of being present, and how our bodies play a crucial role in grounding us. Ever felt overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy or self-judgment? Dr. Brenner shares practical ways to welcome and experience these feelings fully, leading to deeper acceptance and peace.
The episode also touches on creating empowering beliefs and the transformative impact of Internal Family Systems therapy. Whether you're grappling with everyday stress or deeper emotional struggles, this episode offers valuable insights and coping strategies to enhance your mental and emotional well-being. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is comforting.
