84 // Suppressing Positive Emotions
Positive feelings can be overwhelming and there is a vulnerability in experiencing them.
In this episode, Lisa chats through what it means to suppress positive emotions such as love, joy, excitement, and gratitude.
In the wellness and healing space, we often hear about what happens when we suppress difficult emotions such as fear or anger, and the impact that has on our nervous system and experience of chronic pain.
But today, Lisa discusses how the same is true for suppressing more positive feelings. She shares with you ways that you can embody the somatic intensity, and how to hold curiosity and compassion for yourself in this piece of personal process work.
Lisa chats about:
Why we commonly suppress emotions and how that shows up in coaching work
The importance of assessing a client’s relationship with emotions
Energy cost of repression and the link to chronic pain
The vulnerability of feeling good
The skill of receiving without deflection
