Freedom in Acknowledging Physical Responses to Emotional Reactions

During moments of conflict, the importance of recognizing what you’re really feeling underneath the surface is key to communicating more clearly in both romantic and professional relationships. Our bodies often react physically to our emotions, sometimes in ways that make it difficult for us to identify the underlying cause. In this episode, Dr. Sam Jinich speaks with Dimitrij Samoilow, a certified EFT therapist based in Oslo Norway, on the importance of acknowledging physical responses to emotional reactions and having the vulnerability to share them with others. 

Here's a quick look into what you'll learn this episode: 

-How internal narratives keep us in reactive loops
-The importance of having a sense of self compassion, love, and acceptance for ourselves 
-Acknowledging and accepting how our bodies react to certain emotions and seeking out other resources to help us process them
-Feeling connected in an increasingly disconnected world

"We know that from research, that knowing your feelings and being able to name your feelings correctly is calming and soothing and it gives us more emotional balance." -Dimitrij Samoilow
