In this episode of the "Subject to Improvement" podcast, host Susannah Margison shares three powerful tools to help individuals manage and overcome undesirable emotions. Susannah, a lawyer turned coach, emphasizes the importance of addressing emotions triggered by conflicts, dealing with difficult people, and navigating challenging situations. The first tool, "Bilateral Brain Stimulation," focuses on stimulating both hemispheres of the brain by passing an object between hands to alleviate anxiety and emotional turmoil. This technique can be applied in various scenarios, including handling emails or conversations that trigger anxiety. The second tool, "Zoom Out to Shut Up," involves expanding one's peripheral vision and awareness to find calm amidst overactive thoughts. It helps individuals regain control when their minds are racing, offering a simple yet effective method to promote mental calmness. The final technique, the "Emotional Freedom Technique," employs a tapping method on specific acupuncture points to induce a sense of calm. While Susannah acknowledges her limited knowledge of the physiology behind it, she attests to its effectiveness in helping clients and herself manage anxiety. Throughout the episode, Susannah advocates for acknowledging and processing emotions while providing these practical tools to manage them effectively. She encourages listeners to share these tools with others who may benefit from them, emphasizing the value of supporting each other during emotionally challenging times.
