We're often encouraged to "feel our feelings" as a route to healing and greater self-awareness, but what does it even mean? And exactly how does one go about it?
This episode explores:
- The difference between feelings and emotions
- How to tease apart physical vs emotional sensations
- Why sense-making gets in the way of us feeling feelings in our bodies
- Ash's dating life, and how it feels - literally
- And we leave you with a mini-challenge to try out in your own life, to work at becoming a better emotional connoisseur
