Dr. Rick and Forrest discuss how we can regulate our emotions by feeling, managing, and processing them more effectively. They begin by unpacking common misconceptions and clarifying what healthy regulation looks like - feeling our feelings without being overwhelmed by them. From there, they walk through the three key steps of emotional regulation, focusing on practical tools like cognitive defusion and opposite action.  Topics include interoception, the window of tolerance, cognitive bypassing, suppression/repression, and finding a balance between acceptance and agency. Key Topics: 1:59: What Does Emotional Regulation Look Like? 6:08: The Three Aspects of Emotional Regulation 12:35: Step 1: Feeling Your Feelings 27:20: Step 2: Managing Your Feelings 58:50: Step 3: Processing (and maybe expressing) Your Feelings 1:10:10: Recap Rick's Course on Grief and Loss: Join Rick for his new, four-week long online program where you'll soothe emotional pain, find perspective and meaning, and hold whatever happened with acceptance and compassion.

Together we're going to do a Meditation for Emotions with Mindfulness Instructor Thomas McConkie. We're going to talk about how to work with the embodiment of emotions and how to create space for all our feelings, even the ones that are painful or frightening. You can learn more about Thomas' classes and workshops here: https://lowerlightswisdom.org/ Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership This exercise we're about to do together is, in my opinion, life changing. It will fundamentally change how you interact with painful thoughts and emotions. You'll practice creating space for them so that you can be less reactive and more intentional in your actions. It's a powerful, transformative exercise. And, at the same time, it's not difficult to practice. It's a simple skill, and I've invited mindfulness expert Thomas McConkie to join us to teach it. As this exercise is designed to work with disturbances, or uncomfortable emotions, it's going to be a little uncomfortable. But if you find yourself getting overwhelmed, feel free to take a break, do something comforting, and then come back to this exercise when you have more resources. We're going to do a little introduction. Then we'll do the exercise, which is about 12 minutes, then I'm going to debrief my experience with Thomas, because each time I do this exercise, something inside of me changes, but the first couple times it was pretty mind-blowing for me.

Dr. Shaw begins by outlining her motivation for creating this particular podcast, and that rationale is to examine how we are when we feel our feelings.  It begins with the fact that we are taught from a very early age that we should have only happy feelings and that life is filled with happy endings.  Dr. Shaw feels that it's wrong action to think that way, and that what we need to strive for is the realization that feelings come and go.   She encourages a type of neutrality or objectivity about feelings.  Yes, it can feel better to be happy, but we should also not feel sad or shameful or vulnerable when we have a so-called negative feeling.... those are real feelings.  The goal she encourages for herself and for others is to have contentment in life.   Sometimes we have bad or ordinary moments... sometimes we have wonderful peak experiences... it's ALL ok... it's just the human condition.

We've all heard “you gotta feel it to heal it” but have you ever wondered WTF that actually means?In this episode of Dear Goddess, I'm getting brutally honest about what it actually means to "feel your feelings" beyond the Instagram wellness quotes and into the messy, transformative reality of emotional mastery.Speaking from the trenches of my own emotional overwhelm (thanks, family dinner meltdowns), I'm breaking down why being more triggered doesn't mean you're less healed, how to stop thinking your emotions instead of feeling them, and what somatic healing actually looks like in practice.Whether you're an empath drowning in emotions, someone who's been suppressing feelings for decades, or anywhere in between, this episode is your guide to developing true emotional sovereignty.Inside this episode, I share:

“Name it to tame it” isn't just a phrase; it's neuroscience. Research shows that when we put our feelings into words, we activate the part of the brain that helps us feel calmer, clearer, and more in control. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle, somatic exercise to help you name what you're feeling in a way that brings emotional clarity and relief. And we won't just be using words—we'll also be using Self-Havening, a simple but powerful technique that uses soothing touch to support your nervous system and deepen your healing. By combining mindful awareness with gentle touch, we create the perfect conditions for emotional release, self-regulation, and deep self-compassion. If you've been feeling tangled up in emotions or just want a compassionate way to reconnect with yourself, this episode is for you. Let this Name It To Tame It practice be a gift to yourself—a moment to name what's here, to soften into it, and to discover what happens when you meet yourself with curiosity and care.

A psychotherapist and hit podcaster brings empathy and humor to her first book, a radical reimagining of the self-help genre that teaches listeners how to “process their emotional sh*t,” let it go, and enjoy the life they're livingAfter suffering through her own cycle of tragedy, suppressed emotion, professional study, therapy, and eventual breakthrough, Rachel Kaplan knows from experience that many of us avoid actually feeling our feelings. Instead, we store them in a kind of emotional constipation, chasing distraction, addiction, consumption, and other forms of suppression. The only way to heal from traumatic experiences and difficult feelings, to live healthier and happier lives, is to move the emotions through our bodies—to let that sh*t go.Heal, Feel, and Let That Sh*t Go is a revolutionary and irreverent approach to personal transformation and self-care that teaches listeners precisely how to (and why they should) feel emotions to move them through the body as nature intended. Kaplan calls this modality “emotional potty training,” and the revolutionary community she's nurturing, the Feelings Movement. Her approach helps listeners heal themselves deep down, eliminate doubt about their own self-worth and value, and importantly, enjoy the journey.To accomplish this, Kaplan guides listeners to:reconnect and reintegrate with their younger selves who suppressed emotion because they needed connection and approval from parents in order to surviveaccess the inner pain resulting from the experience of feeling unlovable and other traumas that were not emotionally processed at the timeengage in self-care practices and step-by-step physical and mental exercises to work through and release these pent-up feelingsRestoring the ability to process emotion is the only effective means for reducing our backlog of emotional pain, establishing a baseline of well-being and self-trust, and overcoming the debilitating effects of core wounds, chronic stress, depression, and misery. By letting that sh*t go, listeners can enjoy the life they're living and know their worth, no matter what.Rachel Kaplan, MA, MFT, is a licensed psychotherapist, mental-health educator, and author of “Feel Your Feelings: the Healing Power of Letting That Sh*t Go,” forthcoming from New World Library in late October 2024. Creator and host of award-winning podcast, The Healing Feeling Sh*t Show, she has developed a vibrant community, The Feelings Movement, on multiple social-media channels (IG, Tiktok, Threads) with more than 150,000 active followers. She's been featured as a guest on dozens of podcasts, and her essays have appeared in the popular San Francisco Bay Area wellness magazine, Common Ground. She holds a master's degree in counseling psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and has trained in cutting-edge trauma treatment models such as EMDR. She studied yoga, meditation, and hands-on healing practices in India and Nepal, and worked for years with an Apache-initiated master healer. She runs a thriving therapy practice in the Bay Area and personal-transformation workshops in Joshua Tree.https://thefeelingsmovement.com/mediaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
