Episode 91 - Feeling Without Drowning: How to Work With Your Deep Emotions
Manage episode 505191935 series 3660866
Most of us were never taught emotional regulation or mindfulness skills as kids, leaving us either overwhelmed by our feelings or completely numb to them. In this episode, you’ll learn a simple, step-by-step practice to help you feel your emotions without getting lost in them, so you can move through difficult experiences with greater ease, resilience, and self-compassion.
• Emotions are energy in motion—meant to flow through us rather than define us
• The language we use matters: saying “I’m experiencing anxiety” versus “I am anxious” creates healthy separation
• Inside Out brilliantly illustrates how emotions function like characters that take turns in the driver’s seat
• The RAIN protocol provides a mindfulness-based approach to emotional regulation: Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture
• If your body is in fight-or-flight mode, the TIP technique can help: Temperature, Intense exercise, Paced breathing
• Visualizing emotions as characters supports emotional intelligence by creating distance and perspective
• Remember: you are a vessel for emotions, not the emotions themselves
