Caregiving often resembles riding an emotional roller coaster. But how are you managing those emotions?
You might not give much thought to your emotions. Simply pushing through the day with positivity and strength may seem like the right approach. You'd think so, but ignoring your emotions actually comes with a slew of hidden costs. Ugh!
In this episode, I recount my journey of uncovering the significance of emotions, especially after grappling with grief. I discovered this was an area I needed to pay more attention to.
I pinpoint common methods people use to suppress their emotions: avoiding, judging, staying busy, rushing to positivity, and numbing. I also delve into why we're averse to feeling our emotions—primarily because it's just not enjoyable!
But above all, I aim to illuminate why it's crucial for us to acknowledge our emotions and discuss the various consequences of suppressing them, including emotional overwhelm, increased fatigue, physical side effects, and decreased resilience.
Lastly, I provide practical strategies for processing emotions, such as regular check-ins, thought downloads, and acknowledging emotions without judgment.
