This moment episode discusses the vital role of processing emotions, particularly grief and anger, for mental health. Corissa and Aypril highlight how holding in emotions like anger can negatively impact the nervous system, likening it to trying to hold a beach ball underwater. They emphasize the significance of creating safe spaces, whether with a coach or therapist, for individuals to fully express and process their feelings. The conversation also delves into how societal discomfort with emotions can lead to repression and the importance of allowing oneself the time and space to work through grief without judgment or pressure. The episode concludes by advising against comparing one's capacity to handle stress with others, stressing that everyone's 'swimming pool' of emotional capacity is different.
