Most of us sort our emotions into two bins, good and bad. Then quietly try to get rid of everything in the bad one. In this episode I make the case that this is exactly backwards. Suppressing what we've labelled 'bad' doesn't make it disappear, it goes underground and shows up anyway, in irritability, tension, and decisions made from a narrowed emotional range. Drawing on my academic studies, I explore what happens when we swap the label 'bad' for 'useful' and get curious instead of defensive. This episode includes a practical exercise you can try for yourself. If you've ever wondered whether the emotions you've spent years avoiding might actually have something to teach you, this one's for you.
