Beyond Awareness: Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing

52. Expressing Emotions Confidently & Safely

Listen Later

Do you stuff emotions down; and then have exaggerated reactions when you finally express them? That was me - I always felt the need to cry when I was expressing something that made me feel sad, angry or upset. 

I tap into why that is + how journaling has helped me control my tears (and emotions).

Journal Prompts:

  • What emotions have you stuffed down recently or in the past?
    • or what triggers you to react?

    • What situations caused those emotions?
    • Normalize emotions by giving yourself *permission* to feel them; accepting yourself for feeling them; validating that the emotion & how you handled the situation was the best that you could at the time.
