302: Behind The Sessions: When You Don't Know How You Feel


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself in situations where trying to figure out your emotions feels like trying to untangle a knot? Or perhaps you have experienced an overwhelming whirlwind of conflicting feelings, which happens often. Life is anything but linear. It is messy and full of ups and downs that challenge us emotionally. 

Over the last 70 years, there has been more emphasis on psychology, and we understand so much more about getting in touch with our feelings. But even so, some of us are still learning as we go. 

In today's Behind the Sessions episode, we look into what it is like not to know how you feel. Join us as we unravel the complexities of tuning into our feelings while navigating the emotional rollercoaster of life and the reproductive experience.


Show Highlights:


  • How disorientating the experience of pregnancy and parenthood can be

  • How the pressure to appear fine can feel uncomfortable when we do not know what we are feeling 

  • Why we need to acknowledge and accept our feelings, even when they are uncomfortable or hard to confront

  • What happens when we deny or avoid our feelings?

  • Why being confused about your inner life, emotions, and mental health during the perinatal transition is normal

  • The benefits of therapy for exploring and understanding feelings and becoming empowered to make positive changes in life 

  • The value of healing and growth through self-awareness 

  • How building a better relationship with ourselves benefits our overall well-being

  • Why should we prioritize our mental health?
