Do you feel controlled by your emotions? Like they take over before you even have a chance to think? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Peaceful Plate Podcast, we're diving into emotional regulation and what it really means to process emotions instead of suppressing them.
🧠 Neuroception—how your nervous system decides if you're safe or in danger (without you even realizing it)
💡 The link between unprocessed emotions and chronic disease
⚡ Why emotions like anger and sadness aren’t “bad” but signals from your body
🔄 A 3-step process to release emotions and regulate your nervous system
When we suppress emotions, they don’t just disappear—they show up later, often stronger. But with the right tools, we can process them in a way that brings freedom, healing, and even physical relief.
📌 Quick correction: In this episode, I mention that when we're experiencing an emotion like anger, we might wonder why we’re reacting that way. But actually, that reflection usually comes after the emotion passes—because in the moment, our prefrontal cortex (the thinking part of the brain) goes offline. Just wanted to clarify that!
