Building Emotional Intelligence and Authenticity the Punk Rock Way with Dr. J.J. Kelly

In this episode, I spoke with Dr. J.J. Kelly, Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Emotional Intelligence Skills Training Expert & Consultant. In this episode, we discuss Dr. J.J.’s unorthodox approach to treating mental health, including the importance of emotional intelligence and what it is, how to deal with oppression in the mental health system, and how you can improve your mental health by learning skills.   Dr. J.J. Kelly, The Punk Rock Doc, is a licensed clinical psychologist, emotional intelligence skills training expert, and bestselling author of The Holy Shit Series. J.J. is also the CEO & Founder of UnorthoDocs, Inc., a punk alternative to traditional psychotherapy. Dr. Kelly and the unortho “docs” live their lives with the belief that global healing is achieved by teaching people the skills to like themselves.   In this episode, we discuss: All the “-ism’s” and systemic oppression that exist in society also exist in mental health How learning to act according to your own personal values which in turn will make you more confident Why “happy people act right” and how that connects to emotional intelligence How to separate thoughts, emotions, and actions How Dr. J.J. Kelly’s approach to mental health is more about independence and teaching people skills rather than dependency that’s seen in other types of therapy in the mental health system How negative self-talk needs to stop and is normalized too much in society Useful tools in emotional intelligence to help you stop pathologizing yourself … and more!   *Note: there are unbleeped curses in this episode.   Connect with Dr. J.J.

Calmly Coping is an actionable self-improvement podcast for overthinkers with high-functioning anxiety. I'm your host, Tati Garcia, and I'm a licensed counselor specializing in anxiety treatment & a coach specializing in high-functioning anxiety. Do you appear calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside you are struggling, doubting, and overthinking? Calmly Coping is not about fixing you, it's about uncovering the amazing person that is already there (and that you are just too afraid to let out). If you are struggling with feeling stuck in life, overthinking and over-analyzing things, putting way too much pressure on yourself, difficulty relaxing, trouble staying focused, and struggling with self-doubt, then this podcast is for you. I release new bite-size and evidence-based episodes once weekly with my top tips and techniques for coping with and decreasing anxiety while helping you feel more confident, have improved relationships and communication skills, and have better focus and performance.
