Why Therapy Isn’t Just for the “Crazy”(with Juliet Kuehnle)

Taking deep breaths is the number one coping skill that radically shifts your physiology and psychology.  Who You Callin' Crazy by host and author Juliet Kuehnle (@Yep,Igototherapy). Her podcast and book's mission is to destigmatize therapy. This interview with Juliet is a passionate and playful conversation that provides applicable tools and information on how to be balanced in our minds, emotions, and bodies.   “A good therapist will guide you." - Juliet Kuehnle    Key Takeaways: Trifecta: Physical, mental, and emotional health is the ultimate trifecta. All these aspects of ourselves coexist. Having an emotional coach is just as important as someone teaching you how to lift weights or set goals. Radical Acceptance: Radical acceptance is a skill that we can build on. It is a dialectical behavioral therapy skill where you learn what it looks like to accept reality and not fight things out of your control. Also, how not to carry things that don't belong to you, such as emotions or opinions of others. And possibly the most important, how to cope with the uncertainty of life. Coping Skills: Did you know there are different coping skills? Here are three examples: 1. Avoidance-oriented coping skills: distracting ourselves intentionally in a positive way. 2. emotion-oriented coping skills: how to process and move through emotion (excellent to learn from a therapist). 3. Problem-oriented or solution-oriented coping skills: if there's a problem, use critical thinking to figure out how to solve and execute it. Knowing and being more intentional about these skills allows you to utilize the proper ones at the right moments. Understanding Anxiety: The foundation of anxiety in uncertainty. Many people in this fast-paced and changing world experience anxiety. Finding tools such as breath work, meditation, and visualization for centering and focusing on what you can control are all effective. Seeking therapy or a trained coach for support and learning tools is a suitable pathway.  Sponsors and Promotions:   Momentous Sleep Pack Momentous Sleep Pack features a 30-day supply of easy-to-use tear-away packs featuring three natural ingredients that prime you for a good night's rest.
