Episode 21 - When Your Mind is Stuck in Resistance

from Real Positive Change: Creative Renewal for Women · host Cathy Freeman

  Have you ever noticed how certain situations stay in your mind long after they happen? You may try to reason with yourself, reminding yourself that you cannot control the situation. Yet every time the thought returns, your body reacts with frustration, tension, or anxiety. This reaction is often a form of emotional resistance. In this episode of the Real Positive Change Podcast, we explore how resistance is not always about the situation itself, but about the emotional charge that the situation created inside of us. When a thought repeatedly triggers stress in the body, it can feel as if your mind is touching a “hot wire” each time it returns. You will learn: Why some situations create ongoing emotional resistance How resistance can affect the nervous system and emotional well-being Why trying to “think your way out” of the feeling often doesn’t work How creative expression can help release emotional tension and restore calm Sometimes the mind needs more than logic to find peace. Through gentle reflection and creative practice, it is possible to move from resistance toward clarity and emotional balance. If you have ever felt stuck replaying a difficult situation, this conversation will offer insight, understanding, and a calming perspective. Listen as I discuss more in this new podcast.
