Ep. 35 - Why Can’t I Feel?

from The Absurd World Podcast Hosted by The Absurd World Podcast

Emotions, what are they, really? Why do we have them? Why do we struggle to express them? And for some of us… why is it so hard to feel them at all? In this week’s episode, I take a deep look at emotions, why they exist, the roles they play in our daily lives, and why so many of us find ourselves disconnected from them. With help from Bell Hooks, Brené Brown, and Rollo May, we’ll also explore how social expectations can pressure entire groups of people to stay numb just to fit in... or even survive. Maybe, just beneath the surface, something far more insidious is at work.
