Another #blog #post on my #substack.
In it, I look at ways we process #emotions and #experiences.

From the article:
"When it comes to working with emotions, three categorizations can be made:
1] processing: engaging with them skillfully and integrating them
2] suppressing: consciously disengaging from them, e.g., via distractions such as Netflix, social media, drugs etc.
3] repressing: subconsciously disengaging from them

In my #experience, most of us start being fairly good at repressing and suppressing and it takes time, practice, and the realization that we cannot outrun ourselves to begin learning how to process emotions better."
