HOW TO FEEL MY FEELINGS – WHAT THE THERAPISTS SAY

This video is a bit different than usual. I reached out to social media to gather advice from therapists on how they help their clients to feel their feelings. I share with you the themes that arose.

With thanks to the following for their ideas:
Kids feel their feelings in their whole bodies, our emotional experience gets smaller as we grow up: Carly Radford
1. Viewing feeling as a practice/check-ins: Javaneh Pirzad, Jem, Trevor Burgess
2. Understand resistance to feeling: Cara Martin, Helena Byrne,
3. Name the feeling: Cheryl-Ann Stewart, Jem, Claire Francis, Natalie Barso
4. Get in touch with bodily sensations: Yasmin Shaheen-Zaffar, Erika Kamlert, Amelie Rachel, JR Jinney
5. Accept feelings: Manaal Mulla, Jess [Counsellor], Tracey Douglas,
