This week on the podcast, Damesha chats with Brittney Moses, social media's favorite mental health advocate who encourages the integration of faith, culture, and wellness. Brittney and Damesha take a deep dive into the pool of emotions and how we, as Believers, can take power over them in practical yet beneficial ways. 

We discuss:

1. We are bio, psycho, social, spiritual beings 

• Bio- we have brains, bodies, and hormones thy impact our behavior

• Psycho - our mental framework is shaped by the experiences in our lives

• Social - wired for human connection (dopamine and oxytocin)

• Spiritual - the truth of who we were created to be - the objective truth

• If anyone of these go wrong, it can affect our mental health

2. Emotions as messengers rather than disrupters

• What is the emotion trying to tell me?

• “God show me the root of this feeling”

3. Emotional Awareness and Self control

• Being emotionally aware can assist us in having better control over our emotions and help us to be proactive.

4. The "ABC's" 

• activating event- what triggered the feeling?

• belief - what did you believe when it happened?

• consequence - what are the actions that you now want to take since?
