In this episode, we discuss our relationship with emotions, the how and why of emotional experience, expression, and repression. The most important thing is to remember you can always improve your relationship with your feelings and starting with compassion for the emotional patterns you have developed is much more productive than shaming yourself for not being better at expressing or experiencing them. Part 2 of this conversation will come in the next episode when we discuss this topic further with a friend and the first guest of the podcast.
