Navigating Emotions with Clarity, Courage and Compassion: Practical Strategies. With Dr. Alissa Jerud

Today, we're diving into a topic that’s close to home for so many of us—Navigating our emotions. It’s one of the most common struggles we face, and every time we explore it on Untangle, the response is overwhelming.

My guest today is Dr. Alissa Jerud, a clinical psychologist, researcher, and the author of the book Emotion-Savvy Parenting. Her work focuses on helping us build practical, evidence-based strategies for navigating the storm of emotions that life inevitably brings. And, as you might guess, Anxiety is one of our most challenging emotions.

What I love about Alissa’s approach is that she doesn’t treat anxiety as something to “get rid of.” Or any difficult emotion for that matter. Instead, she helps us understand it, accept it, work with it, and even grow through it. We talk about the myths of coping, how we often make things worse without meaning to, and why the strategies we instinctively reach for might not be serving us. We also learn how to become more emotionally agile, and the powerful practice of doing the opposite of what your anxiety urges you to do.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by strong emotions and wanted to respond with more clarity, courage, and compassion, you’ll find this to be an interesting conversation.
