Let's Talk Trusting Your Own Feelings
Manage episode 335545680 series 3375262
As an emotional and spiritual health coach, my passion is to help people unlock their feel good. Feel good isn't "happy all the time", utopia; instead, I create opportunities for you to find out what your unique "feel good" blueprint is and strategically work toward integrating it into your life. Life is GOING to happen--I can help you be ready for it without losing your feel good. In this episode, I take on trusting our own feelings:
1. External cues are part of being relationship with other humans.
2. Some external cues are used to control you
3. Reframe external cues to honor your needs & emotional health
Bottom line is this: Learning to trust ourselves, instead of relying on external cues to tell us "what" or "how" we feel, is the real work.

In highly charted situations, the "words" part of our brains freezes up. That's why I provide writing prompts to help access the words.
