When big emotions come up for us, we often tell ourselves something along the lines of, “I don’t have time for this,” especially if it happens out in public or around other people. It might present as heaviness or tightness in your chest, a catching in your throat, or that feeling that you’ll cry if someone just glances your way. The truth is the emotion will bubble up and spill over into your life if you don’t address it, and that’s why I’m guiding you through this process today.   Learn what processing emotions means, and how practicing it creates self-awareness, self-trust, and self-safety. I’m showing you what processing emotions might look like in real time, my favorite, simplest way to process my emotions, and how you can help your clients navigate their big emotions.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/188
