    Why You Feel Overwhelmed: A Therapist’s Guide to Releasing Emotional Baggage

    Ever felt like dropping a spoon might actually be the end of the world?** You aren't "mean" and you aren’t losing your mind—you’ve simply reached Max Capacity. In this episode of The Seaglass Perspective, we take a look at the invisible weight of emotional baggage. We often think of baggage as old trauma, but there is a daily version that builds up when we repress stress instead of processing it. From physical tension and headaches to sudden irritability and "crying at the drop of a hat," your body is telling you that your emotional cup is full. Join us as we explore why emotional expression is a sign of strength, not weakness, and learn practical (and slightly embarrassing!) tools to finally set those heavy bags down.

Whether you're working through old patterns, building healthier boundaries, or learning to anticipate and navigate life’s challenges, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate look at what meaningful progress actually looks like in therapy and in everyday life.
