In this episode, Lisa chats through what it means to suppress positive emotions such as love, joy, excitement, and gratitude. 

In the wellness and healing space, we often hear about what happens when we suppress difficult emotions such as fear or anger, and the impact that has on our nervous system and experience of chronic pain. 

But today, Lisa discusses how the same is true for suppressing more positive feelings. 

Positive feelings can also be overwhelming and there is a vulnerability in experiencing them. She shares with you ways that you can embody the somatic intensity, and how to hold curiosity and compassion for yourself in this piece of personal process work. 

This topic is taken from one of Lisa's 7 Menstrual Cycle Mastery Skills ~ Emotional Clarity. You can learn more about Lisa's Menstrual Cycle Mastery Skills in her courses and programmes below.
