You are Responsible TO Your Feelings, Not FOR Your Feelings | Episode 141
Description
I first heard the phrase, “You are responsible TO your feelings, not FOR your feelings,” from the book by Cheri Huber, There Is Nothing Wrong with You: Going Beyond Self-Hate. While I didn’t understand what it meant until I went through recovery, I now appreciate this phrase a lot. That’s why episode 141 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how you are responsible TO your feelings, not FOR your feelings!
In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing the importance of the responsibility you have to feel the feelings you have and actionable steps you can take today to learn to just feel the feeling.
Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:
- The relationship I had prior to recovery with my feelings and how they stemmed from a phrase I heard in my childhood.
- The benefit to crying openly in front of others is that it lessens the grief.
- How, and when, to analyze where feelings are coming from.
So be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
