Episode 146: Emotions are living things
Summary
A metaphor I often use with clients is that emotions are living things. Like little creatures, they have their habits, and their likes and dislikes. And like any other living thing, more than anything else, they want to continue to exist. They want to keep living. This is important to understand, because the impulses you feel when you’re emotional may better serve the emotion in question than your own best interests. I’ll explain more in this episode, using concrete examples.
