In this podcast episode, I discuss the issue of outsourcing emotional regulation to a partner and provide three key points to address this problem. Firstly, it is important for you to be aware of your emotions. Take a moment to pause, identify, and label the emotions you are experiencing. This self-awareness empowers you to understand what is happening and take appropriate action.

The second point focuses on exploring the intention behind your emotions. Emotions serve as signals, conveying your desires and fears. By delving deeper into their purpose, you can gain a better understanding of what you want and what you are afraid of. This insight helps you navigate your emotions more effectively.

Finally, it is crucial for you to find ways to serve the emotional intention in the best possible manner. Consider how you can fulfill your emotional needs while managing associated risks. It could involve reaching out to a friend for support or practicing self-compassion and nurturing your inner child.

I encourage you to engage with these ideas and I'm here to assist with any challenges you may be facing. By developing self-awareness, exploring intentions, and finding healthy ways to meet your emotional needs, you can become more adept at managing and navigating your emotions, leading to personal growth and independence.
