Why You Must Feel to Find Emotional Healing
6 vital ways to heal from painful emotions

John R. Miles – why you must feel to find emotional healing and six ways to approach healing. | Brought to you by Babbel (https://babbel.com/passionstruck) for up to 60% off.

If you found this podcast, you are likely searching for how to find emotional healing of some sort. You may wonder how it is even possible. As I explain in the episode, yes—emotional healing is always possible if we make the deliberate choice to tackle our pain. I discuss why we often try to numb the pain instead of confronting it, and I provide six ways to approach that healing.

The reality is that you are forever changed following the emotional pain you are healing from. I realize that can feel scary, but it can also be incredibly freeing as you experience post-traumatic growth.

What is Emotional Healing?

Emotional healing is when we acknowledge, accept, incorporate, and process the pain caused by life experiences and big emotions. It may involve crying when you feel the need, self-compassion, seeking professional help, practicing meditation, or expanding your view on life.

Many people have a tendency to want to handle emotional healing in unhealthy ways with the goal of minimizing their pain by numbing their emotions through emotional suppression with things like alcohol, drugs, or binge-watching TV. But ultimately, this is a very poor way to come to terms with one’s emotions, and it can actually inhibit the process of emotional healing.

Emotional healing requires us to feel in order to heal and I will discuss that through the story of Robert Downey Jr.

The aim is not to get rid of the emotion but to allow yourself to fully feel it. So, ensure that whatever activity you choose to engage in is to the end that you can express your emotions.
