About this episode

Jen discusses her personal retreat that fell apart and explores the underlying emotional challenges related to feeling overwhelmed and delayed emotional processing.

This is a super-sized 70 minute Patreon only episode but I'm giving you the first 15 minutes! In this episode: I talk about how my planned personal retreat fell apart, and what therapy helped me see underneath it was that a week of feeling overwhelmed and behind was really unfelt feelings and delayed emotional processing and disguise. I get into why emotional regulation isn't about being calm and how to build scaffolding so that you can catch the feelings before they turn into a stress monster.
