Releasing Our Feelings (Instead of Bottling Them)




The Kate and Colby Show show

Summary: We have moralized the experiences of feeling either UP (it’s good!) or DOWN (that’s bad). It’s seen as better to be happy, peppy, and positive; whereas if you’re feeling blue or sad or angry, we’ve turned that in to a negative. Part of what still needs deconstructing for many of us is this moralization of our emotional world. Rather than bottling or repressing our “down” feelings, may we learn to name, accept, and release them. ——— Past Episodes in this Series: Part 1: When Evangelical Leaders Tell You YOUR “Why” Part 2: Investigating Our Savior Complexes Part 3: Why We Don’t Entirely Identify with the #Deconstruction Movement Part 4: Deconstructing While Still Going to Church ——— ABOUT THE KATE & COLBY SHOW Our mission is Holistic Care for the Soul.
