Welcome to the Heal Always Podcast with Dr. Will, your friendly neighborhood counselor. In this episode, Dr. Will dives deeply into the concept of 'emotional malignancies' - patterns of unresolved feelings that can affect our physical and mental health. Drawing from research conducted during the pandemic on physicians, he introduces terms like 'reaction,' 'rationalization,' 'remorse,' 'resentment,' and 'regret' to explain how emotional distress can build up over time. Dr. Will also discusses self-concept versus self-esteem and offers practical tips for coping and healing.
