Show Notes:
In this discussion, Claire elaborates on the concept of 'feeling our feelings' and addresses common misconceptions. She emphasises the importance of discerning between experiencing emotions and becoming stuck in them.
Claire highlights the concept of neuroplasticity, specifically positive neuroplasticity, which can transform habitual negative emotional patterns into enriching experiences by fostering a connection to one's deeper self. She encourages prioritising a deeper self-connection to host and move emotions healthily, without becoming over-identified or stuck. Claire invites you to reflect and cultivate a more profound relational capacity with oneself, thus allowing emotions to inform and inspire rather than inhibit.
