So it really comes down to balancing between the two of those: developing the emotions- right, developing that emotional skill within yourself so you can feel the emotions, you can release the emotions but also be detached from them, so that you're in that objective, you have that objective perspective on them, so you're controlling them from a logical point of view.
Ever wondered if you should trust your heart or your head more? In this episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast, Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke tackle the age-old debate between emotional and logical intelligence, especially in the context of PTSD recovery. They break down why both emotional skills and logical thinking are crucial for healing and how striking the right balance can transform your journey to wellness.
Kayleen and Brad share their own stories, revealing moments when their emotions ran wild or when cold logic took over, and the impact these had on their recovery. They discuss the importance of tracking your progress, not just in terms of emotional breakthroughs but also in logical milestones. Brad even opens up about why he used to track arguments with Kayleen and how that helped him understand their emotional dynamics better.
The episode doesn't shy away from the rawness of emotions. You'll hear practical advice on creating a safe space for emotional release and why it's essential to admit your true feelings and faults. The hosts emphasize the dangers of letting emotions dictate your actions without any logical check, as well as the pitfalls of suppressing feelings entirely.
If you're on a path to overcoming PTSD, this episode offers a balanced perspective on harnessing both your heart and mind for full healing. Whether you're looking to develop better emotional skills or need tips on maintaining logical control, Kayleen and Brad provide a roadmap that's both practical and relatable.
