Description

In this vulnerable solo episode of Don't Worry it’s Confidential, I open up about my personal journey with emotional avoidance—especially when negative feelings arise without a clear cause. For so long, I’ve struggled with either blocking emotions through distraction or amplifying them with overthinking, making everything feel worse. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I break down:  

• How emotions actually work & why avoiding them creates more suffering  
• Common ways we unconsciously suppress or intensify our feelings  
• Step-by-step tools to process emotions using IFS (Internal Family Systems), self-compassion, and somatic practices
• The shadow side of emotional bypassing & why it doesn’t work

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions or struggled to sit with discomfort, this episode is for you. Learn how to process emotions in a healthy way and stop letting fear control your feelings.
