In this episode of Get Out Of Your Head, Rachel continues the conversation on emotional connection, diving into practical tools for reconnecting with and processing emotions in a healthy way. Building on Episode 45's exploration of the seven core emotions, Rachel reviews why feeling "tongue-tied" about emotions is often a sign that too much energy is stuck in our heads, disconnecting us from what's going on inside our bodies.
This week, she introduces the "Change Triangle" framework from Hilary Jacobs Hendel's book It's Not Always Depression, highlighting how disconnecting from core emotions can lead to defensive reactions. With easy-to-follow steps, Rachel explains how to recognize and reconnect to your emotions, offering listeners a path toward feeling more grounded, calm, and clear-headed.
