Managing Difficult Emotions, Three part Series. Part three. (Please read previous parts here: Part One & Part Two)
4. Processing
Processing happens differently for different emotions and people
Hitting a sofa with a pillow, having a temper tantrum on the floor when alone and ripping paper are great ways to release anger
Crying and journaling work well for pain, as do any types of artistic expression (collages, paintings, playing music)
Dancing and exercising are other excellent ways to move any energy through your body
5. Support
Please don’t underestimate how valuable help of others is – a loving hug, friendly conversation are all excellent ways to receive support
Nature walks, hugging a tree, feeling sunrays on your skin, Epson salt bath time
Energy Healing and Meditation are other excellent ways to balance out the emotions and connect deeper into yourself
6. Positive Change
Once the emotion moves through you and you’re in a more balanced state – try to figure out what were the unmet needs behind the emotion
Make a simple action plan on how to make changes in your life to allow yourself more of happiness and joy focusing on bringing love and healing to your inner child
