The Emotions Doctor - Ed Daube, Ph.D. || Don’t Pick the Scab Podcast 020 || David M. Webb

Emotions are one of the facets of men over 40 going through or in a post-divorce recovery state that can throw him for a loop. It can be dealing with coparenting or just going through a divorce. Most men have no clue how to handle the sometimes overwhelming nature of emotional turmoil. I have found and interviewed The Emotions Doctor - Ed Daube, Ph.D. Coming from sunny California, his mission is educational, for most people have no clue how to handle some of our out-of-control emotions. Not just in divorce but in life in general.

In this conversation, Ed, a psychologist and author, discusses the importance of understanding and managing emotions, particularly in the context of divorce. He shares personal experiences and professional insights to explain how emotions can be viewed as tools and how they impact decision-making while emphasizing the need to recognize primary emotions and avoid using anger as a secondary emotion. Ed devotes his retired life to teaching the mainstream public how to positively grow through emotions. He understands they are not a hindrance but tools for our survival. Thanks Ed.
