Deliver Us from Feelings I Episode 5: Stress & Anxiety (Part 4 or 5 of the Function of Emotions Series)

<div>Today, we're talking about something that sits underneath many emotional experiences — the stress response system, and more specifically anxiety. Stress and anxiety aren't just emotions — they're survival mechanisms.</div> <ul> <li>They are deeply wired into our nervous system.</li> <li>They are automatic.</li> <li>They are fast.</li> <li>And they are not broken.</li> </ul> But they are often misunderstood. So today we're going to talk about: <ul class="x_gmail-ul1"> <li class="x_gmail-li1">The function of the stress response</li> <li class="x_gmail-li1">The physiology behind it</li> <li class="x_gmail-li1">Fight, flight, freeze, and the lesser known fawn</li> <li class="x_gmail-li1">Anxiety and what it's actually trying to do</li> <li class="x_gmail-li1">Why people become anxious about being anxious</li> <li class="x_gmail-li1">And how to regulate anxiety — not eliminate it</li> </ul> Because as you've heard me say: The goal is not emotional control. The goal is emotional regulation. One last thing... Starting in March, this podcast's name will be changing to The Emotional Fitness Podcast. Stay tuned for updates!

Deliver Us from Feelings I Episode 4: Sadness. Part 3 of 5 of the Function of Emotions.

Today's episode is all about sadness: what it is, what it's for, why we struggle with it so much, how it's different from depression and grief, and how to cope with it in ways that actually help — instead of making it linger. And just to be clear: this is not a "just think happy thoughts" episode. We're not bypassing, reframing, or silver-lining sadness into submission. We're going to understand it. And we're going to practice giving it space. Because when you understand an emotion, you'll experience the emotion differently.

Deliver Us from Feelings I Episode 3: Part 2 of The Function of Emotions: Shame & Guilt. Why do we have them & what to do with them.

We all know emotions happen…. But few of us have ever learned what they're actually for. They can feel confusing, overwhelming, even threatening — especially the really heavy ones. And no emotion gets more fear, avoidance, and misunderstanding than shame — and its loyal companion, guilt. In this episode, we'll soften the mystery. You'll learn the real function behind these two heavy hitters and how understanding them makes them far less scary. And a whole heck of a lot lighter.
