20 - Feel Your Feelings - The Eight Core Emotions (Part 2)

In Episode 20 of "Living with Heart," hosts Bryan Barley and Chip Dodd continue their deep dive into the necessity of feeling and managing emotions. They emphasize that emotions are uncontrollable yet essential tools for personal growth and connection, discussing the dangers of emotional denial and the benefits of healthy shame and guilt. Through personal anecdotes and the fable of "The Emperor's New Clothes," they illustrate the profound impact of embracing and expressing true feelings.
