They discuss the differences between suffering and pain, and ways joy can help us hold our suffering with more ease. Dr. Tanmeet unpacks the science behind how toxic positivity heightens our stress response, and its role in suppressing true emotions. You’ll learn exercises for identifying and labeling emotions, as well as techniques for bringing ease and joy into the body.
