EP23 - “It’s Weak to Cry” and Other Myths About Emotions

Let’s debunk the myths about emotions! Last week I talked about how to feel your feelings, so this week I am taking it one step further by talking about some common misconceptions and why I believe that emotions are not inherently negative or positive. During the episode I also recount my own shift towards embracing my emotional side and the realisation of the importance of crying. You will learn about: The most common myths about emotions What emotions actually are and how our body shifts them What responses men and women have learnt to suppress How to avoid the harmful effects of ignoring your emotions Why crying is so beneficial for your health and wellbeing What being “emotional” does and doesn’t mean What people think of emotions in the workplace How to create safer, more authentic environments   Do you have any feedback?
