Handling Negative Emotions

Trista Guertin
About this episode

In episode 78, the focus is on understanding and embracing negative emotions. I explain that negative emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, anxiety, guilt, and frustration are part of the human experience and serve essential purposes.

These emotions act as survival mechanisms and play significant roles in social interactions, personal growth, decision-making, and adaptation.

By learning to process and allow these emotions, rather than resist or numb them, we can foster personal development and move forward in our lives without all the unnecessary suffering.

Key Moments:

00:43 Understanding Negative Emotions

04:46 The Role of Negative Emotions in Survival

06:44 Social and Psychological Functions of Negative Emotions

08:12 Personal Growth Through Negative Emotions

11:23 Processing and Allowing Negative Emotions

14:06 Practical Steps to Process Emotions

19:29 Building a Bigger Life by Embracing Emotions
