Ever wondered how truly feeling your emotions can be transformative? Join Mary Sanker and me on the Lift One Self podcast as we unravel the deep impact of emotions and the essence of self-care. We begin our journey with grounding techniques through meditation and breathwork, emphasizing the necessity for therapists to help individuals process their emotions profoundly instead of just discussing them. Experience a guided meditation that sets the tone for emotional exploration and the importance of feeling safe in one's body while validating each emotion without judgment.
What if befriending your fear and anger could lead to a healthier mental state? Mary and I delve into the complex relationship between these emotions and our nervous system. Listen to our insights on how fear serves as a protective mechanism and discover techniques like controlled tantrums for anger release and reconnecting with childhood comforts. We explore how intuition, linked with the unknown, inherently involves fear and why embracing this can help you live more authentically and trust yourself better.
Parenting young children can stir intense emotions, but there are ways to manage the overwhelming rage and frustration. I share my own experiences, highlighting the crucial roles of therapy and mentorship, along with practical tools like physical separation and self-reflection. We discuss how childhood experiences shape parenting styles and the importance of processing deep-seated emotions for personal growth. Finally, we invite you to share the valuable insights from our discussion, connect with us on social media, and always remember to be gentle with yourself.
