Tara Brach - Practical tools to manage anxiety and the news in a stressful world

In this episode, Jessica Yellin speaks with Tara Brach about living in anxious times and the strategies we can all use to help manage stress, fear, and worry.

Tara Brach has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, is leading meditation teacher, a best selling author and widely followed spiritual teacher. She offers ways to stay grounded and compassionate, rather than angry and triggered, while engaging with the challenging realities of our world.

Brach takes on concepts such as unprocessed fear -- how it can keep us personally isolated and how it drives polarization globally. She speaks about healing techniques -- specific tools and strategies that can be used to help process your fear and anxiety.

Finally, in the last 15 minutes she takes us on a guided practice.

As you listen, you may feel emotions well up. We encourage you to just let them happen and to keep an open mind to the wisdom of Tara Brach.
