How To Move Beyond Happiness with Dr. Jennifer Guttman Mom To MORE
-
- Self-Improvement
In this “Expert Episode” of Mom to MORE™, host Sharon Macey is joined by Dr. Jennifer Guttman, Clinical Psychologist and author of Beyond Happiness: The 6 Secrets of Lifetime Satisfaction.
Dr. Guttman tells us that our society tends to put happiness on a pedestal-it’s everyone’s ultimate goal and is even enshrined in our Declaration of Independence. But what happens if happiness is the wrong goal? Happiness is an emotion...not a state of being. It is not enough to soldier us through life’s challenging moments like losing a job, or when a child is ill. Meanwhile, 40% of people worldwide say they are not happy. The reason? Happiness is simply not sustainable.
Dr. Jennifer Guttman received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Long Island University. She is trained in cognitive behavioral therapy with specializations in trauma treatment and family systems. Over the past five years Dr. Guttman launched a motivational brand platform called Sustainable Life Satisfaction®. She produced a YouTube series, course and a workbook based on this method. This year she released, Beyond Happiness: The 6 Secrets of Life Satisfaction published as a hardcover and paperback by Post Hill Press.
Dr. Guttman is a regular contributor to Psychology Today, Thrive Global, MindBodyGreen, and has written articles for numerous media outlets and publications. She has been a guest on several network television programs across the country including, KTLA, ABC News, NBC Bloom, and CBS Georgia, among many others. In addition, she has been featured on dozens of podcasts.
Over the past 30 years, Dr. Guttman has sustained a robust practice with offices in NYC, Connecticut, and virtually as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist nurturing exciting personal interactions with thousands of clients from diverse walks of life.
Join Sharon and Dr. Guttman as they discuss the concept of transformation, six secrets to achieving satisfaction, and the importance of modeling self-care.
Dr. Guttman challenges conventional notions of happiness, advocating instead for sustainable life satisfaction. She unveils six secrets to achieving this satisfaction, urging listeners to abandon assumptions, curb people-pleasing tendencies, confront fears, make decisive choices, complete tasks, and actively reinforce self-worth.
Offering practical guidance, Dr. Gutman empowers mothers to embark on their journey towards fulfillment, stressing the importance of self-care and setting positive examples for their children.
Tune in for an illuminating dialogue on discovering contentment and satisfaction amidst the myriad demands of motherhood and beyond.
