Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.
Ever feel like you have to bottle up your emotions just to get through the day? Lynn Matti, a seasoned clinical mental health therapist, tackles this very issue in this episode of The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast. She dives into the concept of 'emotional phobia'—the fear of experiencing and acknowledging difficult emotions. Lynn argues that ignoring our feelings doesn't make us stronger; it leaves us in a constant state of fear and weakness.
She points out that life is a mix of both happy and sad moments, and fearing our sadness can make us feel perpetually threatened. In her usual empathetic style, Lynn offers practical advice on how to start healing from this emotional phobia. She stresses the importance of labeling our emotions and understanding the physical symptoms that come with them. Using tools like the Feeling Wheel, she encourages listeners to become more curious and self-aware.
Vulnerability, she says, is not a weakness but the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change. By acknowledging and managing our emotions, we can improve our relationships with ourselves and others, leading to holistic mental wellness. Whether you're struggling with emotional phobia yourself or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to start the healing process.
