BEFORE YOU START
Is it safe enough to unpack your feelings?
When emotions feel too big or painful, the mind develops clever ways to avoid feeling them which are called "defenses." These defenses can look like strength on the surface, but often keep us disconnected from our true feelings. Here are some examples:
"I'M Fine" Denial
Intellectualizing
Toxic Positivity
Dissociating
Criticizing Others
Entitlement
You are NOT Your Stress. Think of it like a visitor.
Unblending is the practice of disconnecting your identity from your emotional states. When you create a little space between yourself and a stressful feeling, you gain clarity and choice. Stress can visit, but it doesn’t get to define you.
