Today I’m talking nerdy about emotions and emotional processing with Janira Martinez. In this conversation, we’ll cover the difference between a cognitive or analytical top-down approach to emotional processing as opposed to an approach that’s more bottom-up or somatic. We’ll also talk about why you might be suppressing or repressing emotion, the impact that has on your mental and physical health, the danger of not feeling your feelings, and how to actually process your emotions so that you don’t get stuck in them. 

Janira Martinez is a Desire & Soul Coach on a mission to empower women by embracing emotions and vulnerability. Through her unique blend of somatic healing, sensual practices, spirit guidance, and unwavering compassion, Janira creates a supportive environment for getting out of the head and into the body, alchemizing pain into power and transforming stagnancy into a rich, desire-led life.

Before you dive in, I would love it if you could hit pause and leave us a 5 star review and a written review on whatever platform you’re listening on. In doing so, you help get this podcast into the ears and brains of more people like you.
