Published: June 23, 2021, 12:30 p.m.

How often have you spent time with people you love only to feel frustrated and misunderstood? As humans we are all so complex in our network of feelings and emotions. Unfortunately, we\u2019ve been raised thinking that negative emotions are bad and should be shunned. Many of us are barely holding it together, or are spiraling out of control because we don\u2019t know how to handle the feelings that are leaving us totally overwhelmed. Lori Gottlieb, a psychotherapist and author joins me and breaks down why we don\u2019t have to run away from those taboo feelings of envy and jealousy. She explains how to communicate better and hold space for your partner or children and allow them to just be heard. This episode is packed with so much you may have to listen a second time.\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES: \nUnreliable Narrator | Why your perspective isn\u2019t the full story, it\u2019s a faulty narrative [0:19] \nUnknow Yourself | Lori helping people unknow the stories they keep repeating [1:32] \nInsight | Lori explains why insight without action is useless\xa0[3:58] \nIdiot Compassion | Lori breaks down what this is and why it doesn\u2019t help [5:05] \nRelationship Filter | Lori\u2019s questions for examining people around you [6:45] \nChange | Lori on why change is difficult because of uncertainty and loss [8:17] \n5 Steps | 5 stages of change to making a permanent change in your life [9:08] \nChange Anxiety | Getting through unfamiliar territory & anxiety with change [12:39] \nChoosing to Suffer | Lori on why we don\u2019t choose pain but we choose to suffer [14:06] \nNumb the Pain | Distracting yourself from pain feeling overwhelmed [15:34] \nFeeling Compass | Lori on using feelings as a compass to know what you want [17:13] \nNegative Feelings | Why the way you deal with negative feelings matters most [19:28] \nSetting Intention | Lori on setting yourself up for a better day with confidence [22:55] \nTransformation | Lori shares why tiny steps are so important in change [26:35] \nFuture Loss | Lori explains how change collapses the future & holds us back [32:18] \nUnfinished Business | How cycles repeat when we don\u2019t address past issues [35:30] \nSelection | Lori confirms why selection is so important for healthy relationship [39:48] \nChildhood Wounds | Lori on why you have to give up hope for better childhood [41:53] \nVulnerability | When someone opens up and how to navigate what they need [45:05 ]\nUnderstand | Why people need to be understood and heard, ask what they need [47:21]\xa0\n\nCheck out our sponsor:\xa0Teonan: Go to TEONAN.com and use the code WOI to get 15% off your first purchase. \n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nCalling all Badasses!!
