Understanding Emotions

In this episode Carolyn and Chris explore understanding emotions. Emotions for some are not very clear and end up blocking our ability to communicate what we are actually experiencing. We all experience emotions, but many people have a hard time understanding what our emotions are trying to tell us. We explore the adaptive nature of emotions, how we experience them through our bodies and the ways we make sense of them. Much of society teaches us that emotions are weak and dangerous and must be pushed down. Hopefully after this episode, emotions can be seen as our bodies trying to tell us important information and move us away from the way they block us in relationship and toward connecting through sharing and understanding.
