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.
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.
