The 90-Second Reset with Dr. Joan Rosenberg
60 million Americans are affected by mental health issues. One in five will experience mental health issues within a given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
The good news is: you don’t have to stay stuck, sad, lonely, frustrated. You don’t have to feel useless or lost. The pain of that will pass - and it may pass quicker than you think.
I’ve known Dr. Joan Rosenberg for 15 years. When I am in a rut, or I feel stagnant or stuck, I talk to her. She is a bestselling author and a captivating public speaker, an all around amazing person who is excellent at what she does.
Joan offers an essential tool and 4 step framework I think will be beneficial for your entrepreneurial mental health toolkit.

- The 90-Second Rule: Bodily sensations associated with difficult feelings are often what we try to avoid. But, we can lean into them, accept that it will pass in 90 seconds or less, and then we experience them more fully and move through them.
- Express Authentic Emotions. Both Dr. Rosenberg and Gay Hendricks stress that suppressing or "transmuting" emotions, such as masking sadness or disappointment with anger, can be detrimental. Gay shares that one of his clients experienced a huge breakthrough when he was able to acknowledge the source of his anger.
- It takes strength to ask for help and acknowledge limitations. Success is rarely achieved alone. Even the military prioritizes assessing needs and limitations and calling for support when necessary. Embrace vulnerability and build the support systems necessary to go the distance!
Not only is Joan a brilliant psychologist, she’s a bestselling author, and a captivating public speaker. Her experience and expertise make her Mental Health Framework essential for any entrepreneur.
