3 - How to Feel Feelings and Heal Triggers

54 minutes

Feelings and triggers, large and small, that emerge in our daily lives are a chance for us to heal and deepen our relationship with ourselves. But how do we do that, instead of beating ourselves up, using distraction or numbing to avoid our feelings, or projecting our feelings onto others?

In today's dynamic episode, you'll learn exactly how to do just that.

We'll talk about:

How to heal a trigger in real time, step by step

The difference between feelings and triggers -- and the simple question to ask yourself to identify the difference

Why the difference matters

How to feel our feelings no matter what is coming up, even if we don't know why we are feeling the way we feel

The role of the support of others-- is it ok to get support from others to process our feelings?

Examples of healthy and unhealthy ways others play a role in our feeling and healing.

And more.

When we approach our feelings with loving compassion rather than self judgement or avoidance, we not only experience the love that we have been seeking in everyone and everything else, we heal the world just a little bit more.
