Episode 052: In this episode, we dive into the nature of emotions through a Catholic lens, exploring how to discern and process emotions in a way that aligns with faith. Many Catholics struggle with the idea that some emotions are inherently good or bad, leading to suppression or guilt around emotional experiences. We’ll define emotions, discuss their role in decision-making and behavior, and offer practical techniques for processing emotions while staying connected to God.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotions have distinct physical and energetic signatures in the body
• Scripture doesn't condemn emotions but acknowledges their complexity and need for discernment
• Jesus expressed a full range of emotions, showing that emotions can be experienced and expressed in healthy way.
• St. Ignatius' concepts of consolation and desolation can help Catholics discern emotions in relation to God's will
• Practical techniques like pausing before reacting, breathwork, and grounding practices can aid in emotional regulation
