289. The 7 Steps to Stop Fearing Your Feelings

What if the emotions you’re trying to avoid are actually the key to creating the life you want? In this episode, I talk about why so many of us fear our feelings and how avoiding emotions can keep us stuck. Whether it’s loneliness, stress, shame, or the desire to view pornography, learning to feel your emotions is a skill that can change everything.

I explain why emotions are not dangerous or harmful, but simply sensations in your body that you can learn to experience. When you resist feelings, they often become bigger and lead to buffering behaviors that help you escape them. I also walk you through the seven steps for feeling a feeling so you can learn how to process emotions instead of running away from them.

You’ll learn why feeling your emotions is essential for quitting pornography, how to stop resisting uncomfortable feelings, and how building this skill can help you handle whatever life brings your way. This episode will help you see your emotions differently and discover what becomes possible when you stop fearing them.
