In a day and age when 7/10 of us are chronically stressed, living in survival mode, too busy intellectualising our feelings to actually feel them, unsure of whether we will ever feel great happiness again, sometimes we need to return to the basics: how do we actually FEEL our emotions. In this episode we break down:

What emotional blunting really looks like
The root in trauma + stress + childhood
Why we intellectualise our feelings
The consequences + risk of emotional breakdown
How to reconnect to your emotions through the body
The emotions-physical sensation map
The 90 second rule + so much more

Happy listening :)
