Feeling All the Feelings
from Your Zen Friend Hosted by Lauren Wolfe MS, LPC
Send Lauren a text! On this podcast I will talk about Feeling our Feelings, the importance of doing this, and how we can support our children through feeling difficult emotions. I will share tips on how to make time and space for our emotions and why that's helpful. I will also provide tips on how to support your children in having a healthy emotional life. One of the strategies I share in this podcast is How to Ride The Wave. Here's how you do this: Identify the emotion you are feeling Notice where in your body you are feeling it Remind yourself it won’t last forever I also share a strategy from Nicole Sachs, LCSW who is an author and has a podcast called “Cure for Chronic Pain." Nicole's technique called Journal Speak is a wonderful way to take time to feel your feelings. Here's how you do it: Set a timer for 20 minutes Free write all of the feelings and thoughts that are coming up. Especially write out the child like thoughts which are often negative. Delete what you have written or rip up and throw out your journaling exercise. I mention the books Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times and the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. In our Drop of Zen today (our short guided meditation) I will guide you through an exercise designed to help you get in touch with your emotions. If you like this episode please subscribe!
