86. Marissa Tries Feeling Her Feelings

Welcome back to my ~glamorous~ life!!!!!! Happy (or whatever youre feelin) Wednesday x4 and last episode of the Marissa Tries theme!!! In this episode Marissa Tries FEELING HER FEELINGS!!!!!This past month of reflection, growth and a lot of therapy has made me realize I DONT FEEL MY FEELS!!! I start this episode by giving a brief overview of this month and what it has meant to me and my Rec by Riss for the week *spoiler it has a lot to do with mental health<3333* Diving deeper into the episode I discuss how we have all been trained to dismiss our negative emotions, LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, GET OVER IT, YOU’RE JUST BEING DRAMATIC, or THINGS WILL GET BETTER. I talk about how hard it is to embrace feelings when faced with constant invalidation and labels. I discuss recent events in where I dismissed, ignored, and did not trust my emotions and how through therapy and my queen Glennon Doyle I have learned this is not the answer. Be still and feel it all. All feelings are meant for feeling, even the hard ones.
