E40: What is Emotional Fitness and How to Train Your Emotions with Benjy Sherer


Listen Later

Today I'm joined by Benjy, who believes there is a fine line between emotional awareness and spiritual awakening, and that is where Benjy thrives as a mentor and teacher. Guiding people to emotional mastery, Benjy bridges the gaps between psychology, spirituality and philosophy. Those 3 realms are all intrinsically connected in Benjy’s completely unique - and yet intuitively and compellingly simple - approach to self love and emotional mastery. His overall approach is about “Feelings First”, referring to the notion that we can master our emotions directly, without the need for deep intellectual analysis, ultra-spiritual practices, or pharmaceutical medications. He teaches people how to connect directly with the emotions and sensations of their body - without fear, guilt or shame - and to allow these feelings to run through them so that they can be truly released. It’s about building emotional muscle, not seeking rational answers. As he says, emotional healing is NOT an intellectual activity. Throughout this thought provoking conversation, we touch on topics such as emotional fitness training & why talking about your trauma isn't getting you the results you want. The 3 elements of your experience of reality (thoughts, emotions, sensations) and the subconscious cycle between them. How we repress our emotions in moments of pain and how this creates harmful defense mechanisms that persist over time. Lastly, We discuss how your body is trying to help you heal through the very discomfort that you do your best to avoid.
