Only on Calm Jay Shetty sits down with Dr. Julie Smith to talk about how we deal with our emotions. As a way to cope with difficult situations, we often attempt to block the negative emotions. We tend to shut ourselves down without realizing that blocking negative emotions also means blocking any other emotion. We are built to feel positive and negative emotions everyday because that’s what makes us human.   Dr. Smith is a Clinical Psychologist, online educator, blogger, and owner of a private practice in Hampshire, England.
