Anger. Sadness. Guilt. Embarrassment. Shame. Resentment. These are all painful emotions that most of us don\\u2019t enjoy feeling.\\xa0

They can be so difficult to bear that, many times, we work at all costs to avoid them. We fall prey to the \\u201cGood Vibes Only\\u201d Instagram posts that tell us to pretend we\\u2019re happy all the time.\\xa0

It\\u2019s not possible to be happy\\xa0all of\\xa0the time.\\xa0

In fact, it\\u2019s not even GOOD FOR YOU to be happy\\xa0all of\\xa0the time.\\xa0

In this episode, we\\u2019re diving into the more painful, difficult side of our emotional experience. We\\u2019re wading through the complexity of our more unpleasant emotions to talk about the valuable role they play in our lives.\\xa0

Specifically, we\\u2019ll talk about 4 important things your painful emotions do for you.\\xa0\\xa0

We\\u2019re all human beings, which means we\\u2019re complicated little animals. We have big,\\xa0emotionally-expressive\\xa0lives, and that\\u2019s a GOOD THING! That\\u2019s what we\\u2019re digging into this week.\\xa0

Toward the end, we give you a framework for thinking about your unpleasant emotions when you experience them. Hopefully this helps you understand yourself a bit more and be more self-compassionate in times when you need it.\\xa0
