359: Why and How To Feel Your Emotions

Published: March 23, 2023, 8 a.m.

In my 25 years of private practice, the #1 issue I worked on with clients was feeling their emotions.\xa0

Whether someone was anxious, reactive and raging or numb to the world, the question they were all asking was, \u201cWhat the heck do I do with these emotions?\u201d

I\u2019ve been there too. And it breaks my heart, because experiencing emotions is one of the gifts of being human.\xa0

But the good news is that all of us can reclaim this part of ourselves and learn to feel our emotions. And when we do, it unlocks all kinds of possibilities in life!\xa0

In this episode, I\u2019m breaking down why it\u2019s so important that we learn to feel our emotions and some practical ways to do that. I\u2019m also addressing some of the common fears and discomfort around feeling emotions (like, \u201cWhat if I get stuck in this emotion?\u201d) and helping you understand why this is your birthright \u2013 and how it can improve your relationships, your intuition and your life!\xa0

No one is born without emotions, but along the way, we learn to suppress them \u2013 and in turn, disconnect from who we really are.\xa0

Feeling emotions is the key to connecting back to yourself and one of the foundational pillars of being a healthy adult. I hope this episode helps guide you back to this essential part of you.
