Today I'm joined by Sami Halvorsen, the host of The Teen Life Coach podcast and the founder of Knowing Up. In this episode, Sami and I discuss her personal journey with self-love, the most common challenges teens struggle with, the importance of being proud of ourselves and celebrating little wins, beginning your self-compassion journey, why teens today are struggling more than ever with self-esteem, how low confidence can impact your life, and how self-love and self-confidence are connected!

Today I'm bringing you everything I learned from my time in treatment at 3East, McLean Hospital, and my multiple times through DBT about emotions! We go into a ton of depth on the evolutionary purpose of emotions, what can make it difficult to regulate emotions, primary vs. secondary emotions, prompting events/interpretations/biological changes/expressions/and aftereffects of the core emotions (anger, disgust, envy, fear, happiness, jealousy, love, sadness, shame, and guilt) and how to change emotional responses! It's a lot but this episode is a resource! Come back to it when you need it, learn what's helps you, and remember that all emotions are valid but not necessarily justified! Hope you enjoy!!

This week's DBT skill is the ride the wave skill. Check out this amazing graphic to learn more: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/190136415504126533/
