    You Might As Well Have a Good Cry - Learning to accept and process big feelings and why crying rocks

    Today's episode was recorded straight outta therapy. I had some really heavy feelings last week of inadequacy and worthlessness, particularly surrounding my career and my future. In this episode, I'm sharing how I processed these feelings during therapy, where I discovered that I had a negative connotation around crying and that I felt I needed to have it all together and be "perfect." If you have a hard time embracing your emotions and vulnerability, this episode is for you. I'll remind you that it's okay not to have everything together all the time. "All of these little things that I've told myself over the years have gotten me to this place where now unconsciously, I'm not allowing myself to cry." Tune in to hear about: The heavy feelings I processed in therapy this weekWhy crying is actually great for youHow the things we tell ourselves turn into our daily actions∾ Mentioned: Jordan Lee Dooley ∾ Resources: Blog post: https://www.youmightaswellpod.com/podcast Other episodes you'll enjoy: YMAW Win the War YMAW Read My Journal Connect with me: Website: https://www.youmightaswellpod.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youmightaswellpod/ "Golden by Mona Wonderlick" is under a Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) license Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/D_j6EN3FVGo Support the show

    Here’s a quick one for ya!
