You’ve probably heard this before: “
You just need to feel your feelings to heal.”
But here’s the thing— What if your real struggle is that you feel them too much?
In this week’s episode, I’m diving deep into one of the biggest myths in talk therapy… and what to do instead if you’re someone who:
- Goes from calm to overwhelmed in a matter of seconds
- Shuts down and ruminates for hours when triggered
- Ends up unintentionally damaging close relationships due to emotional intensity
I know this pattern intimately—because I’ve lived it myself.
And I know how draining it can be.That’s why I’m sharing 7 powerful, science-backed tools you can use immediately to calm intense emotions and stop the spiral before it starts.
So if you listen to it, you’ll learn:
- What a “trigger signature” is (and how to identify yours)
- A step-by-step protocol to shift from emotional chaos to calm
- Simple but transformative techniques to reset your nervous system
- Why healing core wounds is essential—and how to start
This episode is especially for the high-achievers with hidden trauma… the ones who hold it together until they can’t anymore.
If that’s you, this might be the conversation that changes everything.
