Exploring Feelings

Identifying our feelings can be tricky. Letting ourself feel strong feelings can be difficult. It is important to label our feelings so we can move forward with the awareness and acceptance of WHAT we are feeling. If we do not process the feelings, and determine if there is a need to express them, we can feel agitated, irritable and even sad.

If you struggle with identifying your emotions/feelings, remember that it takes inner exploration and practice as you build the emotional literacy into your understanding. This is part of emotional intelligence. Being able to handle the emotions takes higher awareness and practice as well. This all contributes to our emotional wellness.

As a coach, my job is not to make you feel “Happy”. Instead, I help you build the skills that enable you to accept your emotions and feelings. Often clients come to me at the peak of their pain, seeking help and guidance. I hold space as I guide them to become aware of the feelings, observe them, notice sensations in the body, talk it through, and then decide if they need to be expressed in other ways, or not.

Ways to identify and process your emotions can include finding the core emotion on the feelings wheel, journaling feelings and talking it through. Often we feel a heightened secondary emotions and when we drill down and get to the core of it, it brings huge awareness and the healing can begin.

When you own your emotions, you begin to accept responsibility for what you are feeling and become empowered to work through it, do the healing and find your steps forward in a healthier way.

If you are struggling with strong feelings, reach out and I will work through the feelings wheel with you.

Feel all the feels!
