Getting Unstuck from Valid Emotions - Episode 7

Love Is The Answer

Our emotions often provide us with helpful information and serve our ability to function. Sometimes, they persist long past their usefulness and we get stuck reliving the past. This episode discusses the function of emotions and their three basic components: physiological, cognitive, and behavioral. When we can understand the function of our feelings, it can help us to accept our emotional experience. I review strategies to accept and experience our emotions as they arise. I also describe a tool to help process and let go of stuck emotions from past events including abuse and trauma. I strongly encourage anyone who has experienced significant abuse, neglect, or trauma to consider seeking the support and guidance of a licensed clinician who is experienced in cognitive behavioral therapy. The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies offers a page to help you locate a clinician in your local area. Take Action: Tell your story. Choose an event involving unresolved anxiety or grief (Note: repeating something that you are angry about typically fuels your fire). Repeat the story allowing yourself to fully experience the emotions that are evoked in the process. Continue until the intensity of the emotions subsides. Here is a link for more information about Panic Disorder. And the link that I mentioned to my YouTube video that discusses the highly sensitive personality type. Wishing you peace and love!!
