How To Let People Feel Their Feelings


Listen Later

The concept of "letting people feel their feelings" may be confusing to some, however in this episode, Colter, Cayla and Lauren emphasize the importance of allowing others to experience emotions like anger, disappointment, or frustration without trying to fix, dismiss, or control them. Listen to unpack the internal discomfort that often drives our impulse to manage others’ emotions, which can stem from fear of being misunderstood, shame, or a lack of emotional literacy. The conversation highlights the value of emotional regulation, self-reflection, and understanding the function of emotions as keys to fostering healthier and more authentic relationships.


In the episode, we talk about topics such as:

  • The “Let Them” Theory
  • Why It’s Hard to Let People Feel
  • Common Emotions We Resist in Others
  • Role of Emotional Regulation
  • Practical Tools & Resources
  • and more!
