When Someone Hurts You: How to Stop the Emotional Spiral & Choose Yourself

Send us Fan Mail What do you do when someone's actions hurt you? You may know logically that their behavior is about them... their baggage, their wounds, their insecurities, their choices...  but that doesn't make the hurt disappear. So what do you actually DO with it? In this episode, we're talking about what happens when someone hurts you and how to move through the feelings without letting the emotional spiral take over. We'll explore how to feel the hurt in your body, identify what's actually underneath it, notice the action your emotions are pushing you toward, and ask one really important question: Will this choice serve the woman I'm becoming? I'll also take you into a little brain science and talk about the salience network, the default mode network, and dopamine, and how understanding your brain can help you interrupt an emotional spiral before it decides what happens next. Because healing isn't about never being hurt. It's about learning that when you are hurt, you don't have to abandon yourself in the aftermath. You get to feel it. You get to get curious about it. And then you get to choose what happens next. 💕 Connect with Me I’d love to stay connected with you beyond the podcast!
