"What are you feeling right now?"

When something unpleasant happens we often replay it in our minds. 

But when we do this, we relive not only the event itself but how it FELT - and all the 'negative' thoughts, feelings and emotions are dredged up all over again. 

This leaves us feeling drained and often feeling bad about ourselves. 

And when we're tired and feeling bad about ourselves - who has the energy to face challenges and move forwards?

A Powerful 3 Step Model for Difficult Feelings and Emotions:

This exercise is not about trying to change anything, just providing a compassionate, comforting presence that allows people to process and release our emotions and feelings - get unstuck and move forwards.

AWARENESS This is the "what". This will help you to look at your feelings and emotions with a flashlight. 

When I work with my clients I ask simple questions to help them get clear on WHAT they are feeling.

ACKNOWLEDGE This is about acknowledging what you’re feeling witnesses your pain so you feel both validated and supported.

ALLOW The simplest, but the hardest step.

Feelings can be painful and are often irrational - and we know it! So, of course, people try to avoid feeling them. But it's the very avoidance of feeling (what we already feel!) that keeps you stuck. 

So if you feel stuck, you may need to work through your emotions and release 'stuck energy' around a situation or person.

If you feel like you would like some help around this send me a DM and let’s talk.

Feel Hugged,
