Keep pushing down emotions? How is that working? I know. I know. This can be one of our best protective strategies (and may have very well helped you adapt to your environment). Is it serving you now? I want to chat about how emotions serve a purpose. They are infomation. Let me say it again…Emotions serve as information to what we need or what action we should take to first survive and also to thrive.

Anger- tells us that our boundary has been crossed and that we need to take some form of action to stand up for ourselves (or someone else).

Fear- are we in danger? get the hell out if needed. F/F/F/F

Embarrassed- if you break a social norm..this keeps us in the group (collective survival).

Sadness- tells us we need to seek comfort, and also that we have lost something very important to us.

Disgust- causes us to vomit if we digest something harmful to us.

Joy and other pleasant emotions- let us know that we are doing something right.

I know it can be scary…but if safe, and you have good grounding, go ahead and get curious. How is the emotion showing up for you, and what information is it sending???
