[ "I learned that feeling my emotions didn't destroy me. They freed me." ]
Maybe you recognize this story.
You've become a master at emotional management. You feel the "good" emotions just fine - joy, pride, love, gratitude. But somewhere along the way, you installed what I call an "emotional governor" to keep you from feeling too much of anything, especially the uncomfortable stuff.
​
You've been living life at emotional volume 3, when life was meant to be experienced at full range - sometimes at a whisper, sometimes at a roar, often somewhere beautifully messy in between.
I wrote this book because
I suspect you're tired of being "fine." Something inside you knows that "fine" isn't enough anymore.
After years of emotional disengagement, I had to relearn the language of my own heart. I discovered that emotions aren't emergencies to be managed, they're information to be received. That worry is actually love dressed up in anxiety clothes. That anger often comes from perceived injustice. That sadness isn't trying to drown us, she's trying to help us release what we've been carrying alone for too long.
Most importantly, I learned that feeling my emotions didn't destroy me. They freed me.
