Healing Feeling Sh*tshow

"Until you learn to include the parts that also make you feel bad, you won't heal, so give yourself permission to feel better by feeling it all..." - Rachel

Understanding the connection between feeling and healing starts with recognizing our natural emotional state, evident in babies and children. We initially possess a healthy emotional system, but societal conditioning often leads us to suppress our emotions, influenced by caregivers and cultural norms. This avoidance can result in maladaptive behaviors, such as substance abuse and addiction, which compromise well-being and lead to feelings of inauthenticity.

In contrast, embracing our emotions promotes healing. Individuals who learn to welcome their emotions experience greater vitality and reduced reliance on distractions. To heal, one must reintegrate the repressed parts of themselves, leading to a more authentic self-experience. Ultimately, feeling emotions is essential for health and wholeness, as it reconnects us with our innate humanity.

You don’t need to hide from your emotional pain. Instead, become so skillful with it that you cultivate genuine self-love, authentic self-expression, and emotional resilience: the New Happy. When you learn how to feel your feelings, true healing is possible!

Enjoy the show!
