Understand Your Emotions, Trust Your Now
You’re experiencing:
Life can feel like walking a tightrope – maintaining composure in client meetings while your heart races, responding calmly to family tensions while your stomach churns, appearing “put together” while feeling like you’re falling apart inside.
You’ve likely tried all the suggested solutions – meditation apps, breathing exercises, positive self-talk. Maybe they helped… for a while. But the intensity keeps returning, leaving you wondering: “Am I doing something wrong? Why can’t I just handle this better?”
I believe the emotions you experience carry wisdom, even (and especially) when they feel overwhelming. That racing heart in meetings? It might be telling you something important about your boundaries. That heaviness in your chest? Perhaps it’s carrying messages about what truly matters to you.
Our work together creates a safe space for all your emotions – even the ones that feel too big or messy. We’ll explore what your racing heart, tight chest, or sleepless nights are trying to tell you, developing practical ways to ground yourself when emotions feel intense.
We’ll explore the sensations your body is giving you—like a racing heart or tight chest. Rather than pushing these feelings away, we’ll listen to them. This helps you understand what’s really going on, so you can move through challenges with more clarity and confidence.
Together, we’ll build a kinder relationship with all parts of yourself, including the parts you’ve been trying to change. You’ll discover ways to handle both emotional challenges and daily situations, transforming your relationship with difficult feelings into one of understanding rather than struggle.
Like you, I once thought my emotional reactions were the problem to fix. When intense feelings arose, I tried everything society suggested: positive self-talk, upbeat music, endless exercise, talking to loved ones, praying, and pushing myself to “get out there.” Like many, I was trying to use pleasant feelings to cover up unpleasant ones, hoping they would just go away.
These approaches worked… temporarily. But the emotions would always return, along with the thought: “I’m doing everything ‘right’ — why do I still feel this way?”
The breakthrough came when I realized some essential truths:
Now, I see things differently. Instead of trying to get rid of uncomfortable emotions or layer pleasant ones on top, I learned to listen to what the emotions were telling me. That anxiety during a team meeting? It might be connected to past experiences of not feeling heard, activated by current workplace dynamics. The sadness that visits? Perhaps it’s tied to old patterns meeting present challenges.
This understanding has been life-giving. Instead of waging war with my emotions or trying to cover them up, I learned to be curious about their origins and messages. Now, I help others discover this same freedom to understand and work with their full emotional experience.
Whether you’re experiencing:
Remember: These experiences aren’t signs of something being wrong with you—they’re signals asking for your attention and understanding. Whether you’re dealing with intense emotions, challenging circumstances, or both, there’s a way forward that honors your complete experience.
From racing hearts in meetings to sleepless nights – there’s a way to understand these experiences without forcing yourself to ‘think positive’ or ‘just breathe.’ Let’s start with a free 15-minute chat – no boxes, no pressure.
