 Michelle Maidenberg |, Ph.D. maintains a private practice in Harrison, NY. She is also an adjunct faculty at New York University (NYU) and teaches a graduate course in Mindfulness Practice.  As a blogger for Psychology Today, Dr. Maidenberg recently did a TED TALK: Circumventing Emotional Avoidance.  She has also been featured in more than 150 national and international media including The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Fitness, and Forbes. 

 On this Seeds of Sunshine episode: 

•  Learn why our negative emotions help us build up our resilience and coping skills and we need those, especially in moments of adversity.
• Our brains are wired to choose avoidance, so if we don't effectively process our feelings, we’re going to be compelled towards instant gratification and unhealthy habits.
• Taking responsibility for our actions makes us feel more empowered. 
• Dr. Maidenberg teaches a mindfulness class and she says that you don’t have to be still to meditate, which is why I think of running as my meditation in motion. 

To purchase her award-winning books “Ace Your Life”: Unleash Your Best Self and Live the Life You Want are available at Thriftbooks, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, Target, and Amazon, and “Free Your Child from Overeating”: 53 Mind-Body Strategies for Lifelong Health.
