Beneath the Busy: Insights into Workplace Mental Health
Episode 8: WTF: What’s the Feeling?
Most of us were never taught how to feel our feelings; let alone why it matters. In this episode, we explore what emotions are really trying to tell us, how the brain responds to emotional overwhelm, and why “naming it to tame it” is more than just a clever phrase.
You’ll learn:
– Why emotional suppression backfires
– How to sit with uncomfortable feelings without spiralling
– A simple reflection guide to help you tune in, not shut down
– And how emotional fluency helps you hold better boundaries
This is not a how-to guide for emotional perfection. It’s a conversation about creating more space, more self-trust, and more choice. One feeling at a time.
