S4 E10 - When Joy and Excitement Feel Da...

NICOLE SACHS, LCSW
About this episode

I know it sounds crazy, but we aren't all totally comfortable feeling big feelings, even when they are considered "good." Sometimes, when your reservoir is near the top, even excitement over something can cause chronic symptoms. If you don't know what's up with your wily brain, you could get stuck in a pain cycle amidst the confusion. In addition, when we grow up in families where joy and excitement are shunned or shamed, a lot of unconscious guilt might be attached to these (otherwise lovely) emotions. Join us for a deep dive into this often unspoken inner dynamic!
