Back to EpisodesEp 372: Why Managing Overwhelm Is Where Emotional Healing Begins
Description
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed that you couldn't even name what you were feeling? When we’re emotionally overwhelmed, everything feels tangled together, making it impossible to think clearly or hear God's voice.
In this episode, I share why overwhelm isn't just another emotion to manage; it's often the doorway to emotional healing.
We talk about why your body responds the way it does, why trying harder isn't the answer, and practical biblical and brain-based tools that help you move from feeling emotionally flooded to becoming centered enough to process what's really happening underneath.
