Embracing Anger Wisely
Accessing and understanding anger can lead to constructive change rather than shame. Recognizing that feelings of anxiety or sadness are not signs of being broken, but rather invitations to transform, empowers individuals to navigate their emotions with wisdom. The conversation highlights the impact of technology on our emotional responses and emphasizes the importance of viewing our feelings as guides for personal growth.In this clip

Can you provide some insights on how to address the feelings stemming from childhood experiences with my father, who tortured and abandoned my mother and me? I often feel that these experiences are the reason I overthink and have deep thoughts. This question relates to the episode "Unlocking Secure Attachment: The Nervous System's Role in Our Relationships" with Sarah Baldwin, the clip "Grieving What Was," the episode "Psychotherapist's Hacks on How to Change Your Life | Lori Gottlieb on Impact Theory," the episode "440: Dr. Ari Langdon on Working Through Trauma & Understanding the Mind/Body Connection," the episode "Authentically Developing Self-Worth | Being Well Podcast," and the clip "Nurturing Inner Parts.",
How do negative experiences, such as being told at a young age or into adulthood how we should feel (e.g., feeling ashamed or not being allowed to feel sad), get encoded into our brains, and how does not having permission to feel our real, biological emotions impact our future decisions? This topic was discussed in the episode 130. Choosing to Heal with Dr. Kelly Brogan, the episode Tools for Overcoming Substance & Behavioral Addictions | Ryan Soave, the episode #614: Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life, the clip Embracing Pain's Gift from the episode Dr. Marc Brackett: How to Increase Your Emotional Intelligence, and the clip Permission to Feel.
I have a question about this episode Adam Grant Returns Again and this Overcoming Fears. In the episode Lessons from Stoicism and The Military | Nancy Sherman | The Knowledge Project 126 and the clip Emotions and Reflection, Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, stating that first you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative. The whole point of that is to diminish the physiological response, right? If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, then if a person works to change their physiological response immediately after being triggered, would that over time also diminish the physiological response and therefore break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider, but every time they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, and immediately after use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
