Emotions are essential for our heart's compass and well-being. However, most of us struggle to be with our aversive emotions (sadness, fear, anger). We may over-identify with our feelings or want to get away from them as quickly as possible. This has us miss out on their transformative potential.
Learning how to navigate emotions in a way that helps understand them and allow them to move through us can be life-changing. Even emotions that have had us feeling vulnerable or helpless in the past have the potential to be important allies for our soul.
