Most people are taught only two ways to deal with emotions:
express them immediately or suppress them entirely. Both approaches fail the nervous system.
In this episode, we explore a third option: emotional containment — the skill of allowing feelings to be processed without being acted out or pushed away. You’ll learn:
- why venting often increases reactivity instead of resolution
- how suppression creates long-term tension in the body
- what it means to “metabolize” emotion rather than discharge it
- how pausing, naming, and regulating feelings restores agency
This is not emotional control.
It’s emotional digestion — turning raw experience into clarity instead of regret.
