Summary
In this episode, Dr. Shaw addresses what to do when you are stuck in an emotional loop, especially a negative one. This discussion was in part inspired by her 10-year-old granddaughter who, when reflecting on being in a state of agitation and exhibiting a bit of a tantrum, said that she felt like when she was in that state she wanted to stay there for a little while. Dr. Shaw theorizes that that state of being in that loop can be comfortable and comforting. She also says there are choices to be made when stuck in that state... one can re-calibrate, or one can feel the feelings as they make their way through it. She reminds us that the first phase of any transition is seeing and observing what is going on. Then be gentle with yourself and try to use your energy in a more productive way. We may think it's helpful to be in that state, but ultimately it may be harming us.
