Mental Self-Help Expert Dr. Carrie Johansson: Ten Strategies To Better Manage Emotions

DENVER, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "Instead of stuffing, ignoring or acting out your negative emotions, people should learn how to manage them more effectively," says Dr. Carrie (nee McCrudden) Johansson, author of the book Self-Help On The Go: Because You Are Not Broken, But Life Gets Tricky Sometimes (2022, Indie Books International).

"My book is designed for folks who are basically mentally healthy who want to discover more information about how to become their best selves," says Johansson who runs a thriving therapy practice founded on the philosophy that no one is broken, but we all have important things we need to work on to improve our habits, communication, relationships, and daily functioning.

Known in the speaking world as Dr. Carrie, she is hired to speak to groups, organizations, and businesses because she combines the latest developments in psychology with easy-to-implement strategies to improve performance and resiliency.

Johansson contends we all have a wide range of emotions to field on a day-to-day basis. The top three most people often describe as negative emotions are anxiety, sadness and anger.

Here are ten strategies from Johansson to better manage emotions and make life more enjoyable:

1. Calm Your Nerves. Learn how to settle down your mind, calm your body, decrease fear and get control over worry.

2. Beat The Blues. Sadness is part of the human experience. Learn some tips to help you set aside the sadness when you're feeling low.
