Grief, anger, resentment, sadness, hurt, betrayal, anxiety, envy, fear and despair. All the things in life we would rather not experience. Labelled as dark or hidden emotions by some, depleting emotions by others.
Like any painful experience, these are the less than pleasant emotions we would rather not feel.
So we push them down, hold them in, ignore them, run away, numb them- all in the vain attempt to disown or disarm them.
Let’s explore the typical barriers and reactions that we have when depleting or dark emotions arise within us. These are called barriers because these habits simply prevent us from integrating our emotions or allowing us to become whole or authentic. It seems we spend half of our life denying our feelings, ignoring half of ourselves and wondering why we feel so anxious.
These habits are outlined beautifully in Brené Brown’s book Rising Strong and this forms a summary of her ideas.
In this podcast you will learn:
· One unhealthy but common habit that can affect your family life and your workplace.
· The four habits we have all turned to when trying to avoid feeling depleting emotions.
· Three steps to take when trying to integrate emotions in a healthy way
· Two essential questions to ask yourself when depleting emotions arise within you.
