90 Seconds to a Life You Love with Dr. Joan Rosenberg

Are you distracting or disconnecting from any of eight specific emotions -- sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration or vulnerability— or are you allowing yourself to feel them? The suppression of unpleasant feelings results in avoidance or distracting coping behaviors that undermine our confidence, emotional health and stability, relationships, professional success and our ability to fully realize our ambitions. Instead of simply feeling an unpleasant emotion, we create workarounds—and those are the distractions and avoidances that limit our fulfillment. Some of those distractions include negative self-talk; anxiety; addiction; and difficulty expressing ourselves fully, setting boundaries or realizing dreams that could be tantalizingly close. Today's special guest, Joan Rosenberg, Ph.D, author of 90 Secondes to a Life You Love: How to Master Your Difficult Feelings to Cultivate Lasting Confidence, Resilience and Authenticity and an innovative and leading-edge psychologist with 40 years of clinical practice combining neuroscience and cognitive and emotion-focused therapyhas found that confidence has everything to do with your ability to know you can handle unpleasant emotions. In her book, Dr. Rosenberg introduces her simple, but remarkable process known as the the Rosenberg Reset™; a springboard that opens up new vistas of self-understanding and self-managed growth. Dr. Joan Rosenberg, a cutting-edge psychologist and professor at Pepperdine University, is known as an innovative thinker, speaker and trainer. She is a three-time TEDx speaker and a member of the Association of Transformational Leaders who has been seen on CNN’s American Morning show, OWN, PBS stations nationally, along with numerous other appearances across TV, radio and print media.
