Episode 2729:
Keith Wilson explores why expressing emotions can be so challenging, even for those who are emotionally intelligent. He highlights common barriers like fear of rejection, conflict avoidance, and low self-esteem, while also unpacking the deeper complexity of how raw sensations become personal feelings and then words. His insights offer a clearer understanding of both our own struggles with communication and the compassion needed when others wrestle with theirs.

Quotes to ponder:
"Some feelings are so hideous you’d rather they never saw the light of day."
"You took a raw experience, made it into a personal experience, and then packaged it for others."
"It’s like your teacher said in math class, show your work. It’s not enough in math class to have the right answer, you need to be able to demonstrate how you arrived at the answer."
