Ever felt like emotions are simply too much to handle? Imagine navigating a maze of feelings, from anger to guilt, and discovering they're all connected to deeper, often unspoken emotions. Join us as we share our own experiences and explore why expressing emotions, particularly crying, can be so challenging. We'll walk you through personal stories and societal norms that have shaped our emotional landscapes, all while advocating for a more accepting attitude towards our feelings, reminding you that emotions are just energy moving through the body.

We're diving into the complexity of emotions and the tools that can help unpack them, like the feelings wheel. Ever wondered why anger sometimes hides deeper emotions like shame or disappointment? We’ve been there, and we'll share our journey of learning to fully process and embody these feelings. We touch on the concept of emotional sobriety, discussing how sitting with one's emotions—without resorting to coping mechanisms—is a transformative yet continuous process. By reflecting on personal anecdotes, we emphasize the difference between merely understanding emotions intellectually and truly experiencing them.

Relationships play a crucial role in emotional regulation, and we’ll explore the concept of co-regulation with real-life examples. Ever felt calmer just by being around someone? We have, and we'll recount how a shared mushroom journey profoundly connected our nervous systems, highlighting the importance of emotional support. Wrapping up, we discuss the responsible use of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes, emphasizing safety and the right environment. Listen in as we share insights from our own journeys of self-discovery and healing, offering encouragement for anyone navigating their complex emotional world.
