154. "It Feels Unsafe" Is Not The Same As "It IS Unsafe"

This is Aaron's first solo episode without Nathan, who was traveling. Many people say things like “it feels unsafe,” but they may be mixing facts with feelings and doing something called "emotional reasoning." Being able to describe the facts or events of what happens, while clearly identifying the feelings you have about them, can help you better understand how it has impacted you and get the validation you may be seeking. Aaron Potratz & Nathan Hawkins are behavioral health experts, licensed counselors, and clinical supervisors with over 35 years of experience. They each own a private group therapy practice and co-own a third one together. Aaron is also a business consultant for therapists in private practice wanting to start, grow, or expand their business. *Now on YouTube: @shrink-think *Sign up for our FREE email course on overcoming fear and insecurity at: https://www.shrinkthink.com/podcast -------------- *Member of the PsychCraft Podcast Network* https://psychcraftnetwork.com/
