Welcome to Season 2 of Weirdly Normal In this episode, I'll talk about why I've been absent and the direction of content from here on and begin a series of episodes on 'big emotions' Big emotions are those irksome feelings that can often lead us to lash out and behave in maladaptive ways. This first episode in the series looks at Shame, Guilt and Embarrassment. Starting with how to differentiate between each emotion and then how to process and work through them when they trigger us. As always...

Vulnerability, Victimhood and The Polarised Society

Let It Out (Tips for expressing negative emotions)
In this week's episode, we explore the benefits of expressing your emotions and offer a variety of tools to do this productively. Suppressing negative emotions (pretending they don't exist) uses extra mental energy, which could be better directed towards pursuing meaningful goals and enjoying positive experiences. After a little 'planned breakdown' while taking a nice long drive, this seemed like the perfect episode for this week's show.
