#39 – Do I Really Need to Feel My Damn Emotions? (Marination Station)

"You need to feel it in order to heal it."<br/><br/>But do you really Becky?<br/><br/>Or is that just something all the personal development people say?<br/><br/>As a somatic practitioner and hypnotist who teaches people how to regulate emotions (often to the point where you can't feel them at all), I get a lot of questions about this.<br/><br/>Shouldn't we be feeling our emotions instead of knocking them down?<br/><br/>Do we really have to experience negative emotion to heal and be healthy? (Cause ew.)<br/><br/>The short answer is no.  You can don't need to feel negative emotions.<br/><br/>But believe it or not, sometimes you might want to.<br/><br/>In today's podcast, I'll share some of the ways that allowing negative emotion serves us. Deepens us. Helps us grow.<br/><br/>And also some of the times we probably SHOULDN'T marinate.<br/><br/>Resources Mentioned:Previous episode about my driving anxiety with links to pattern interrupts in the show notesMy free breathwork Meetup GroupBrooke Castillo on indulgent emotions
