It's Not Always Depression with Hilary Jacobs Hendel

In this podcast episode, Hilary, a psychotherapist, discusses the Change Triangle and the importance of understanding and processing emotions. The Change Triangle is a tool that helps individuals recognize and navigate their emotions, moving from inhibitory emotions (such as anxiety, shame, and guilt) to core emotions (such as anger, sadness, fear, joy, excitement, and sexual excitement). Hilary emphasizes the need to validate and experience core emotions, as suppressing them can lead to symptoms like anxiety and depression. She shares personal experiences of how she learned to recognize and work with her own emotions, highlighting the transformative power of understanding and embracing emotions. The episode also touches on the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development and the role of defenses in avoiding emotional pain. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of creating a safe space for emotions and the lifelong practice of emotional awareness and self-compassion.
