Have you ever asked yourself why a particular commercial elicits a reaction from you?
Today’s show is about emotional recognition. What are the things that you have a visceral emotional response to?
I talk about how to use your emotional recognition to guide you through healing, how to recognize emotional experiences, grieving and how to avoid the collision between present and past experiences in your current moment. I also share a personal story about how I discovered, or in this case, “decoded” my own emotional recognition.

Hi Terri,
What a great topic.This has been really helpful and I need to give this podcast a second listen. I don’t cry and feel so emotionally clogged that it’s limiting my forward movement so when I do I know I’ve struck gold. I remember going to a movie just randomly because partially I loved the theatre on west 58 th street. The movie was “Lean on Pete” about abandonment and how a young kid survives by bonding with this horse in search of his one sane and caring aunt. I sobbed the whole time and felt so much healing from all that release but this issue is still very much a part of me. There was no one there for me growing up and I was expected to be a parent to a parent so to do that you have to repress yourself and your needs to accommodate them. This develops later in life deep people pleasing, and so much imbalance from not knowing who you are. Anything or anyone that Triggers Our pain, especially our deepest, is a gift to wake us up to take notice and do more of the work. Your wound(s) have just been pierced open, do not ignore.! I’ve never had the ample supply of money to do continuous therapy especially with someone who specializes in trauma, so you make your self care a priority and just do the best you can every day. Meditation and yoga are very helpful.
Thanks again Terri!
Nina,
I am witnessing your strength, insights, and courage with so much compassion and understanding. You are clearly finding your way and YES to the healing power of yoga and meditation! xo
Resonated Terri, so true for me, listened Simon and Garfunkel, crying, linked to my Dad, stayed with it, realisation what I had with my dad, not found in others and music gives me ‘glimpses’ of him. The feeling ripples throughout my life with sadness and joy combined, the complexity revealed is so precious to me and yet sad because I rarely have someone to share this with, so your podcast is like an intimate conversation, you provide the words and my the related emotions , flow, appreciate your openness, it’s an offering recieved with thanks and appreciation. Love where to podcast is going, thanks for the journey.
Jill,
Thank you for sharing your experience and insight here with us. I so appreciate your kind words – it warms my heart to know that you “get” the podcast and that it feels intimate to you because it truly is for me. I appreciate you xo
