This week I'm answering a listener question: "How do you deal with emotions when they feel uncontrollable?" I get into why the hardest emotions, like anger, shame, fear, jealousy, and grief, feel so out of control, and why gaining control has nothing to do with pushing them down, hiding them, or running from them. I talk about what it really means to feel an emotion all the way through, the healthy coping tools to lean on, and daily rituals to keep you steady while you process. I also talk about when it's time to bring in extra support like therapy, and why feeling a big emotion isn't a flaw.
Key Themes:
- Why "uncontrollable" emotions are usually the uncomfortable ones we've been taught to avoid
- Feeling an emotion all the way through
- Finding your healthy coping mechanisms
- Knowing when to bring in extra support like therapy, counseling, or coaching
- Big emotions as messages about your values, passions, and where you may be abandoning yourself
