In this episode, I step outside the survival mode framework to focus on a simple truth that most of us still struggle to live by: all emotions are normal.
We talk about what that actually means in adult life, how emotional suppression shows up in high-functioning individuals, and why incongruence between what we feel and what we see can lead to internal conflict, confusion, or shutdown.
I also touch on the physiology of stress, the role of early group environments in emotional development, and the difference between emotional experience and emotional behavior.
Whether you were raised in a chaotic household or one that looked "fine" on paper, you might still be living out adaptations you didn’t choose.
