How can you find joy amidst even the most profound pain?
My guest today, Dr. Tanmeet Sethi, a board-certified integrative family medicine physician, author, and esteemed faculty member at the Center for Mind Body Medicine, shares her remarkable insights on cultivating well-being and trust in life, even during times of intense suffering.
We talk about how negative cultural messaging and trauma can chip away at our trust in life and ourselves, and she shares the science behind the cell danger response and how an extended trauma reaction can hinder our power to thrive.
Tanmeet speaks of her journey of discovering unconditional love through her son's fatal diagnosis and how it sprung open a door to greater joy.
We explore the rejuvenating world of movement as a powerful form of healing. Tanmeet beautifully articulates how emotions can be propelled by movement to help us transcend a narrow experience of our pain and open to let it be held in a larger narrative.
We learn how to break free from the cycle of suffering by understanding where the pain lies and how to sit with it, how gratitude fuels compassion and why grace takes forgiveness to a whole other level.
Our conversation today promises to be a source of strength for anyone seeking to find joy and trust in life amidst the toughest of challenges.
