So Emotional! Find Freedom from Your Feelings with Reframing

by Dr Rebecca Ray

When we encounter negative emotions in ourselves, our instinct is … run! And so, we avoid, hide, suppress and fight these painful feelings and emotional experiences. But by avoiding or suppressing emotions, we make them into something negative about ourselves. We risk entering a spiral of helplessness, shame, and self-loathing.

In So Emotional!, Dr Rebecca Ray takes listeners on a journey to approach their painful feelings using the tool of reframing to process them and provide a springboard for growth. Turn failure into expansion, fear into courage, and frustration into flow, and learn the tools to flip experiences to find meaning and a way forward.

It’s a thoughtful reminder to stay grounded and aware, even when I already know how to reframe things. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, and this book was a gentle nudge to come back to what really matters.

Interesting approach, reframing feelings to feel better. I liked it but at the same time I feel that is the same I hear in other books.

“Remind the scared parts of you that your brave parts are here too.”

I gained a lot of tools I’ll be coming back to over and over again from this, specifically around not shaming the emotions but instead letting them exist without letting them define. Thankyou.

Amazing book, and what I needed to listen to. Author's vulnerability a much-added bonus to the authenticity and power of the insights.
