Community Question: Tipping Point for Emotional Literacy
What was the tipping point for you to feel comfortable talking about your emotions? And/or what was the moment you said: "Ok maybe this does work" (sharing emotions and/or validating them) For me, i think it was a moment I had articulated fear, Alyssa was getting annoyed with me in a disagreement about buying furniture that felt over-kill to me and she had a really kind moment where she put herself aside and asked me not quite what i train with "whats happening for you" but something to the effect of what are you feeling right now, and I remember it wasn't super obvious to me but I think she helped me see fear was running the show and just upon identifying it, everything in that moment felt less heavy.
