113 — Overcoming the Fear of Feeling with Author Jennie Allen

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

If you struggle to understand your feelings and don't know what to do with them, you're not alone. Most of us weren't ever taught how to identify what we're feeling, let alone manage those feelings. That's why so many people try to avoid feeling anything at all.

Author Jennie Allen knows a thing or two about avoiding emotions. She says for much of her life, she tried to fix everything to avoid feeling uncomfortable. But now she's learned how to untangle her emotions, and she's sharing what she learned along the way. Some of the things she shares are how to identify your emotions, how to cope with an uncomfortable feeling, and how to help someone else who is in distress.
