Feeling Without Falling Apart: How to Start When It Feels Like Too Much
Manage episode 480860824 series 3562419
In today's episode, I'm talking about feeling without falling apart and how to start when it feels like too much. Because we've all been taught to push through, stay tough, and avoid being too much, but your emotional system doesn't shut off just because you ignore it.
Naming your emotions without trying to fix them, noticing body cues, and even using grounding tools like music or journaling all create emotional fences that allow you to feel without drowning.
Feeling without falling apart IS possible, but it takes time. If you're doing this work, I am so proud of you because this is SUCH a brave step. Healing doesn't happen all at once, but ultimately, it will bring you back home to yourself!
In this episode, I cover:
- What can happen when you try to feel ALL of your feelings at once
- What it means to get stuck in fight, flight, or freeze + how to gently return to rest and digest
- Simple tools to help you safely process emotions one step at a time (without letting them take over)
- The power of going slow and steady as you build emotional resilience and safety
