To feel is to heal

IMPACT EXPERT Psychology with Penny Locaso

In this episode, we explore the power of feeling to heal. I share the concept of compassionate inquiry and how this trauma therapy approach provides a means to start to reconnect with your ability to feel whole again.

We expose how suppressing feelings can have long-term negative effects on our health and happiness, and I share a practical process to help you cultivate a feeling practice for healing.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Allowing oneself to feel is a powerful way to heal and gain insight into emotions and experiences.
• Compassionate inquiry is a therapeutic approach that helps reveal unconscious dynamics and liberate oneself from self-generated suffering.
• Suppressing feelings can have long-term negative effects on health and happiness, and it is important to cultivate a practice of feeling and processing emotions.
• Practical practices for cultivating a feeling to heal include paying attention to tension in the body, dropping into the body, welcoming and exploring feelings, and integrating the experience through writing.
