Thanks for tagging me in your work and references. I’ve been immersing myself in it but not been able to respond till now🙃

Learning to regulate my emotions has been on the back end of this crazy healing journey I’ve been on. It’s also taken me beyond what is medically believed possible. Though if an “inability to regulate emotions” is one (less known) root cause medically, then I’m firmly of the belief that learning to regulate emotions is one way to counteract the disease. Preposterous when applying a medical lens I know😆 but like I say, one that’s taken me further than is medically believed possible.

As a result of the journey I’ve been on, you’ll most likely find me asking the question “how are you feeling?” And if it’s in my insta stories as it often is, followed up with “how are you really feeling?”

Additionally, after reading “freedom from the known” as part of my yoga teacher training, I no longer see emotions as positive or negative. I feel we’ve done ourselves a disservice with such a label - and from a healing perspective I don’t think it serves to see emotions as good/bad, right/wrong. We are meant to feel the full range of emotions, each serves a purpose and can act as a guide, gifting much needed insight. Sensitive is the new strong as they say.
