We're bad at feelings...REALLY BAD. Episode 7

We’re taught how to do a lot of things in life…but feeling our feelings usually isn’t one of them. Instead, we learn to push them down, distract ourselves, overthink them, fix them, judge them or try to make them go away as quickly as possible. In this episode of Mind-Body Conversations, Lisa and Elizabeth have a light hearted, but intentional talk about why so many of us are really bad at feelings — and why that matters more than we might realize. We explore what can happen when emotions don’t have somewhere to go, how they can show up in our bodies and behaviors and why learning to actually notice, name and allow what we’re feeling can be such an important part of healing. Because the goal isn’t to never feel angry, anxious, sad, hurt or overwhelmed. It’s learning how to be with yourself when you do. We talk about the mind-body connection, emotional avoidance, nervous system regulation and what it can look like to stop running from uncomfortable emotions and start getting curious about what they may be trying to tell you. ✨ In this episode: • Why we’re so uncomfortable with uncomfortable emotions • What happens when we suppress or avoid feelings • How emotions can show up physically in the body • Why “thinking your way out of it” doesn’t always work • Learning to sit with emotions without letting them take over • Building a healthier relationship with yourself and your feelings If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just stop feeling this way?” this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Mind-Body Conversations with Lisa & Elizabeth #MindBodyConnection #EmotionalHealth #FeelYourFeelings #NervousSystemRegulation #MentalHealth #SomaticHealing #EmotionalHealing #SelfAwareness #Anxiety #MindBodyConversations
