If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m guessing you are ready to learn how to manage overwhelming emotions instead of having them manage you, right? If you ever dreamed of what life would be like without fearing how you manage your emotions and what tools to use, this is the perfect episode to get started. 

One of the number one reasons for not starting the healing process is because survivors are afraid of their overwhelming feelings they associate with the abuse. I get it, I’ve been there myself. On the journey to healing there are many new skills you can learn to help improve your life.

In this episode I talk about strategies you can use to help master your overwhelming emotions and learn how to trust yourself to follow through!

Today, you’ll hear about:

- [4:28] The belief that you won't be able to manage your emotions during the healing journey is often rooted in past experiences of overwhelming emotions.
-[11:04] You can implement grounding, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques which are powerful tools for managing overwhelming emotions and fears, especially for survivors of sexual abuse.
-[18:31] This pressure to maintain emotional control can be particularly harmful to survivors of sexual abuse, because it reinforces the notion that expressing vulnerability or seeking help is a sign of weakness. 
-[22:39] The fear of not being able to manage emotions during healing may also stem from a lack of self-trust … Do you continually second-guess yourself?

Listen in and learn that there are opportunities and coping strategies that will help you manage your overwhelming emotions, find balance with your emotions, and learn to stop second-guessing yourself and learn how to trust yourself in following through.
