The Bad Reputation of Negative Emotions

Episode Summary

Emotions are here to stay and they get many labels both good and bad. Our culture often dictates what is acceptable in terms of how we express them and when we express them. In this episode, we unpack what this culture calls ‘negative emotions’ and how they have tremendous power to serve us and heal us just as much if not more than what gets labeled as ‘positive’ emotions. Join us while we explore the giving of permission to feel all of our emotions and honor what each has to offer without judgment.
