This moment episode discusses the vital role of processing emotions, particularly grief and anger, for mental health. Corissa and Aypril highlight how holding in emotions like anger can negatively impact the nervous system, likening it to trying to hold a beach ball underwater. They emphasize the significance of creating safe spaces, whether with a coach or therapist, for individuals to fully express and process their feelings. The conversation also delves into how societal discomfort with emotions can lead to repression and the importance of allowing oneself the time and space to work through grief without judgment or pressure. The episode concludes by advising against comparing one's capacity to handle stress with others, stressing that everyone's 'swimming pool' of emotional capacity is different.01:26 The Role of Coaches and Therapists01:50 Dealing with Emotional Shutdown03:34 Creating a Safe Space for Emotional Expression04:39 The Importance of Processing Anger05:52 Empowerment and Reclaiming Control06:59 The Fear of Unleashing Emotions07:47 The Beach Ball Analogy for Stress08:28 Avoiding Comparisons in Emotional ProcessingSend us a Text Message to let us know what you thought of this episode!________________________Corissa is a Holistic Trauma-Informed Coach & Narcissistic Abuse Specialist™ who empowers women after they’ve endured narcissist trauma to rediscover who they are, reclaim their power, and find the clarity and courage to move forward and live a life they love.
