Working With Strong Emotions

This talk offers mindfulness-based and therapeutic techniques for managing strong emotions, and pulls from biology, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions. There are many paths to peace. When we resist emotions, we often strengthen them. Telling ourselves to be happy when we're sad often makes us sadder. Telling ourselves to calm down when we're angry only intensifies the anger. With mindfulness, we recognize our afflictions as they come with a curious, gentle, and equanimous spirit.
