Numbing of emotions is something every single one of us does or has done at some point in our lives, but it’s pretty unglamorous to talk about openly.  Luckily,  that’s what Jenna and Jenelle specialize in.  This episode, they get super vulnerable and honest while discussing the numerous coping mechanisms they (and many others) use to dull the emotions we feel every day, and the toll “emotional shoving-down” can take on both mind and body.  Whether it’s online shopping or lashing out at partners, we all have developed ways to squash down uncomfortable emotions, and our brains are designed to seek constant comfort and joy, so it’s not ALL our fault.  But how we learn from and grow from numbing our emotions IS in our control. And it’s going to take some practice, so buckle up.
