#9: How to Deal with Big Feelings

Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

Are you uncomfortable with yucky big feelings like rejection, embarrassment, sadness?  In this episode, I teach you how to re-parent yourself to sit with and actually feel your feelings the RIGHT way, so that you can release them from your body!

Episode Highlights:

  • Why parents who are uncomfortable with their own feelings end up dismissing their children's emotions too
  • Understanding why the PEAK of intense emotions cannot last more than 1.5 hours in your body!
  • "What you resist will persist" - How ignoring or pushing down your feelings affects your body and health
  • Call to Action: Scheduling a "crying/feeling day" for yourself where you safely let it all out and coach your Inner Child

Hey bestie! My mission is to help High-Achievers and people-pleasers heal their Inner Child and find healthy love, especially those who desire an extraordinary connection but often struggle in their relationships.
