Embracing Conflicting Emotions with Sara Eisemann


Listen Later

Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What Sara’s aims to accomplish in all the work she does, from clinical therapist to Family First columnist to Director of Education for Core.

  • What “both/and” means and how it can be applied to life experiences

  • Typical paradoxes in our lives and how we can make space for them

  • How to handle negative emotions in a healthy way

  • The role of acceptance 

  • We love hearing from our listeners. You can find Deep Meaningful Conversations on Facebook and Instagram, join our WhatsApp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/IjG33sXCYgFGJSdncnN4nX, and you can always email us at [email protected].
