Episode #308: Sandra Beck on Releasing Difficult Emotions—How to Stop Holding It In with Dr. Mark Borg

Sandra Beck of Coach Talk Radio speaks with psychoanalyst and relationship expert Mark B. Borg Jr. about how to identify, manage, and release difficult emotions before they take a toll on your relationships, health, and decision-making. Dr. Borg brings a clinical and real-world perspective shaped by his work as a founding partner of The Community Consulting Group and as a supervisor at the William Alanson White Institute. His background in both psychoanalysis and community psychology gives him a unique lens on how emotions build, get suppressed, and eventually surface—often in ways that create more problems than they solve. In this episode, he explains why most people don’t actually process emotions—they avoid, suppress, or misdirect them—and what to do instead. You’ll learn how to recognize emotional patterns, respond rather than react, and release what you’ve been carrying in a way that leads to clarity instead of chaos. If you’ve been bottling things up or feeling stuck in the same emotional loops, this conversation offers a practical path to break that cycle and regain control. Coach Talk Radio is also available on Audible, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Player FM, and Podcast Addict.
