Should we SUPPRESS our EMOTIONS?
Description
In this thought-provoking discussion, a caller shares his struggle reconciling concepts in Judaism that seem to advocate for suppressing emotions with his recent experiences in therapy, where he's learned the value of accepting the full spectrum of human emotions. Does Judaism view sadness and anger as undesirable? Could suppressing emotions lead to trauma? Rabbi Shais Taub shares insights into the Jewish perspective on emotions, exploring how they can serve as tools for growth and connection. Together with the caller, they discuss questions like, 'Is sadness bad? Is anger bad? Are these undesirable emotions that need to be suppressed?' This conversation uncovers the balance between experiencing emotions authentically and approaching them with spiritual wisdom. #EmotionalHealth #EmotionsAndSpirituality #SelfDevelopment #FaithAndHealing This video is an excerpt from the lecture "☎️ Thu Dec 26 | 9 PM ET | Rabbi Shais Taub LIVE call-in show" WATCH the full lecture HERE ⤵️ • https://www.youtube.com/live/QpWRQ9hpZ5w?si=duAK5NLsA6N8Txc_ 👉 Follow Rabbi Shais Taub • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rabbi_shais_taub • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbi_shais_taub 👉 Support our work at: • https://www.soulwords.org/donate/ • PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/soulw... • CashApp: https://cash.app/$soulwords • Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/soulwords . . . . . . . . . . .
