How To Sit With & Outlast Hard Feelings, Featuring Dr. Jenn Rapkin
"Could learning to feel again be the most radical act of self-care... what if we could learn to ride the waves of our difficult and painful emotions by moving through our feelings and not around them?
What if you could live undaunted by stress or anxiety, take risks and make mistakes without fear of failure, and better tolerate the messiness, unpredictability, and adversity of life?"
These are powerful questions from Dr. Jenn Rapkin, a licensed naturopathic physician and bodyworker who specializes in integrative mental health and mind-body medicine. She is also the author of the newly released book The Feeling Muscle.
In today's episode, Infinite Capacity Podcast host Andrea Morton will explore the answers to these questions and much more with Dr. Rapkin... following her path from dancer to physician and bodyworker to Mom of two, while also learning to thrive as a 'frequent feeler' and raising kids with their own big feelings.
Dr. Rapkin shares her hard-won personal experiences, patient stories, and clinical insights, questioning the widely held assumption that feeling is a cognitive or mental process, and proposing instead that feeling is the body's job. She defines 'felt emotion' and explains how learning how to sit with hard emotions can be life-changing in the best way.
Dr. Rapkin shares the inspiration for her book, which provides simple mind-body and somatic exercises designed to be done at home, at your own pace. In an age of constant distraction, we are quick to numb or avoid our feelings. The Feeling Muscle shares a step-by-step framework for emotional fitness. It is a relatable and compassionate manual for how to choose mindfulness over mindlessness and live a life filled with deeper feeling and more connection.
