18. How To Hold Space For Hard Emotions (Without Shutting Down Or Spiraling)

It’s one thing to feel your feelings. It’s another to hold them in a way that feels grounded and safe.

In today’s episode, we’re going to practice one of the most important skills of emotional regulation — how to recognize what you’re feeling and build a safe emotional container around it. This is what lets you process without getting swept away or shutting down.

In the last episode, I outlined a process for emotional regulation using what I call the GROUND tool. 

Today, you’ll get a chance to practice it with me.

Whether you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed or just want to build your emotional fitness muscle, this is the tool. This is how you can hit the emotional reset button whenever the feelings hit hard.
