How to do "The Emotional Work" and Lower Your Anxiety in Significant Ways

October 20, 2023 • Sarah Vallely • Season 2 • Episode 57

In this episode, Sarah and her guest Mike Comparetto, a licensed therapist, discuss the reasons why doing "emotional work" lowers your anxiety. Emotional work involves identifying specific words to describe your emotions, being mindful of your body during emotions, being aware of your thinking during emotions and supporting yourself with validation and compassion. If you are curious about broadening your emotional spectrum as a means of soothing your nervous system, moving into acceptance, and decreasing your anxiety, then this is the episode for you. Mike is an expert in his field and offers wonderful suggestions you will not want to miss.
