How to Separate Identity from Emotion

from Words With Myself Hosted by Luke Rixson

This episode explores where feelings come from, how they differ from identity, and why emotions are not absolute truth but valid signals about our experience. It examines how perspectives, empathy, and past stories shape emotions, and why empaths may struggle to separate their own feelings from others'. Ultimately it offers a reminder that feelings are temporary and you can choose who you are by changing the narrative and how you respond.
