Listen "Why do we suppress emotions?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we explore the reasons why we might suppress our emotions; from those not wanting to express unpleasant emotions in public through to people who were taught in childhood that expressing emotions is dangerous.We acknowledge the desire to put on a ‘brave face’, or the experience of boring ourselves with our low mood, so not wanting to put that on others. Can we learn to ask ourselves ‘is this an appropriate emotion?’ and then be able to honour and therefore process how we are feeling?We explore gently pushing at our window of tolerance, learning who we can tell, who can tolerate our unpleasant feelings without wanting to fix us.Find us at: www.adriennekirk.uk or www.presenceofmind.life Hosted on Acast.
