A lot of people struggle with emotions, especially the ones they perceive as 'negative', but today we're going to share with you how there's no such thing as negative emotions...and how if you know how to, they can actually be one of your greatest allies...

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that in this podcast we are talking about emotions as they apply in a general context - we are not talking about depression, and other emotionally related diagnoses. While these approaches may help with some aspects of these, a diagnosis requires a different approach, we do not cover that in this episode.

  • The importance of normalizing all emotions for everyone
  • How emotions are often perceived as 'weak' and what the truth REALLY is
  • Why we tend to feel 'bad' about certain emotions

  • How the processing of emotions doesn't always look the way we expect to
