Don't Trust Everything You Feel

Are you happy with your behavior when in a highly emotional state? Or do you rather feel out of control, confused, or overwhelmed?We hold beliefs about what our emotions mean and often make decisions – even major ones – based on them. But sometimes these ingrained beliefs are not helpful. How can we distinguish between helpful emotional reactions and overreactions? What alternative, healthy coping strategies can we adopt to replace the unhealthy ones? Enhance your self-awareness, accelerate self-healing, and crystalize your trauma understanding.
