Back to EpisodesThe Complaining Trap
Description
Does it feel like complaining is helpful? While it can feel productive, Heidi argues that it doesn't lead us to the results we want.
Take aways
*Sometimes we complain because we are trying to make things better. But it doesn't work.
*Even if we get what will satisfy the complaint, we don't feel better.
*Venting is not always a good thing.
*Feel emotion rather than skipping over it or avoiding it.
*Your body is very able to take care of anger if you allow it to.
