Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain, the only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism

And now here's your host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach,

Tara, Lowend Thile.

Hello, my chickens.

So today I want to talk to you in this episode about your feelings.

So in the first two episodes, really of this limited series, turning panic into peace,

really focused more on your thoughts.

And we're going to completely keep talking about your thoughts and managing your mind.

And I started with your thoughts because I think that giving you some easy reframes

and a couple of easy tools to use is a good way to kind of get you a little bit jump started

and get you kind of starting to practice some of the tools and get a little bit of perspective

and give you a little bit of kind of relief, right, right at the start.

All of the work that we are trying to do with our thoughts to try to calm down and to feel more

seen is all because of how we feel and how we want to feel.

And so we do have to get into learning how to cope with and process our emotions

and how to create the emotions that we want to have in order for this work to really make headway.

So that's what I want to talk to you about today.

The first kind of definitional thing I just want to explain is that when I talk about an emotion

or a feeling, I use those words interchangeably.

I'm talking about a physical sensation in your body, right.

So we often will say I feel like and then have a long thought, right.
