Ep. 51: What Your Feelings are Trying to Tell You

So many of us grew up learning how to quiet our feelings, to push them down, to outrun them, to detach from them. We heard things like, “you're being too sensitive, calm down.” “You're overreacting, stop being so dramatic.” We weren't taught how to listen to what was happening inside of us, and now as adults, we don't know how to speak the language. Feelings aren’t burdens, they’re communication from your nervous system speaking to you in real time. This episode, I’ll walk you through some common feelings we experience and the underlying need being communicated. Because when you understand what those feelings are communicating, you can respond in ways that actually support you. Ignoring a feeling and the communication behind it doesn’t make it go away. That feeling is just going to keep knocking louder and louder until the divine 2x4 hits us across the face, so we might as well learn how to listen to them the first time. There's a lot of valuable information in our emotions; we just need the bravery to feel them and the self-trust to get curious about what they’re saying.ResourcesWebsite: robinbreckenridge.comInstagram: @coachwithrobinTikTok: @robinbreckenridgeYouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge
