95. Feeling Your Feelings and Emotional ...

About this episode

An oldie but a goodie! (Originally published September 27th, 2021)

_____

Maybe you grew up being told your emotions were "too much" or you were in a household where it was literally unsafe to express how you were feeling...now as an adult you find it difficult to handle these emotions and feelings. As I currently work through feelings of grief in my own life, philosophies on Emotional Regulation have been coming up a lot. It can be so much easier to numb out or blow up instead of just feeling the feelings and moving on.  


Growth, expansion, and a stronger version of yourself is on the other side of your emotions. You must be willing to move through them in order to live your healthiest life. 


In this episode, you'll learn: 


  • How to deal with your emotions in a healthy way.
  • Knowing the difference between over-regulation and under-regulation. 
  • Some tools to move through your emotions instead of shoving them down.
