Emotions: Unlocked - Series 1 Episode 8- Disappointment
from Emotions: Unlocked - Dive into the purpose and meaning of your emotions - they are your friends! · host Jemima Blazdell and Emma Starling
Navigating DisappointmentDisappointment is an emotion most of us have learned to brush past — to minimise, rationalise, or quietly swallow. In this episode, we sit with it properly. We explore how disappointment is almost always rooted in expectation, and how the gap between what we hoped for and what arrived can quietly erode our sense of self-worth if left unexamined. We look at how society's standards fuel the conditions for disappointment, how it shows up in the body, and how it becomes entangled with our finances and our fears around loss. From there, we move into a live EFT session, working through these emotions using tapping to create a genuine shift in the body and the mind. What begins as the heaviness of unmet expectation moves, by the end of the session, towards something altogether different — a sense of anticipation, even excitement, about what's possible. If disappointment has ever kept you small or made you hesitant to want things, this episode offers a practical and honest way through.00:02 Introduction and Casual Conversation 00:24 Introducing the Topic: Disappointment 00:50 Understanding Disappointment and its Impact 02:01 Disappointment and Expectations 02:09 Disappointment and Society's Standards 04:40 Disappointment and Self-Perception 06:56 Disappointment and its Physical Manifestations 12:51 Disappointment and Money 16:10 Tapping Therapy for Disappointment 17:56 Identifying the Intensity of Emotions 18:32 Introduction to the Fill in the Blanks Method 18:55 Starting the Tapping Exercise 21:04 Understanding the Emotional Impact 24:53 Continuing the Tapping Exercise 26:18 Uncovering the Fear of Success 27:14 Transforming Fear into Excitement 28:08 Wrapping Up the Tapping Session 28:47 Understanding the Emotional Guidance Scale 32:22 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsSonnet 4.6AdaptiveClaude is AI and can make mistakes.
