Stop Being an Emotionalist
Aug 18
What does it mean to stop being an emotionalist, someone who runs every decision through however they feel in the moment? In this episode, Rebecca and Amber unpack the real difference between having emotions and being run by them. Amber shares the moment she realized she'd been giving her son, and herself, too much room to let big emotions call the shots, and Rebecca opens up about processing grief in real time, including the night she learned a close friend had passed away while sitting in a room full of people. They talk through why "I feel like" is almost never actually an emotion, why your feelings aren't always even your own, and the surprisingly physical cost of stuffing emotions down instead of moving them through. This one covers a lot of ground, mirrors, projection, somatic health, and what Rebecca now calls emotional constipation.
