Episode notes
Thinking Often Avoids Feeling
- Thinking often disassociates us from feeling; judgment usually hides an unfelt emotion.
- Clearing cognitive fixation opens access to the emotional stuckness underneath.
Let Emotions Move Fully
- Allow full emotional expression (anger, fear, sadness) with care to release stuckness.
- After a big emotional release, clarity and behavioral change reliably follow.
The Golden Algorithm Explained
- The Golden Algorithm: the way we avoid an emotion is the very way we recreate it.
- Repetition continues until the system can safely feel the original emotion and return to balance.
