In this episode, I discuss what can be one of our greatest challenges or one of our superpowers - our ability to recognize and express our feelings. I’ll discuss why we have feelings, how they relate to survival and connection, and the reasons we differ in our emotional awareness. I’ll also discuss the consequences of repressed negative emotions and strategies to invite, make use of and release those feelings.
