Emotional Resilience

Emotions are a natural part of being human.

They tell us what’s really going on inside and give us the information we need to move through life. They show up to let us know when something’s off, when we’re happy, or when we need to make a change.

But, here’s the thing: if we don’t know how to recognize our emotions or what we are feeling at any given time, or why we feel a certain way, then our emotions can interfere with our ability to feel connected with others in a healthy way.

This is where emotional resilience comes in. Emotional resilience isn’t about ignoring or suppressing your feelings; it’s about learning to roll with our emotions without getting completely derailed by every little emotional trigger.

A lot of the time, emotional dysregulation starts back in childhood. Maybe our earliest environments that should have had us feeling understood and validated…didn’t.

And, while this is no fault of our own, experiencing these kinds of dynamics can make it tough to understand – let alone manage – our own feelings, and the emotions of others. People who have difficulty with emotional resilience might feel numb, disconnected, or like they’re stuck on an emotional roller-coaster.

One minute they’re angry or sad, the next they’re feeling nothing at all.

It’s not about being overly dramatic or feeling completely numb. It’s more about the inner turmoil that leaves you feeling off-balance or disconnected.

Learning to build emotional resilience means learning how to remain grounded, even when emotions are all over the place.

When we work together, the goal is to give you the tools to handle your emotions with more ease. We’ll focus on building emotional awareness, learning to recognize and label what you’re feeling, why you’re feeling it, and how to respond in a way that actually serves you. And, you’ll receive many exercises to help you become more comfortable with what you are feeling, and to feel more confident expressing your emotions in a healthy way.

Emotional resilience is about being able to sit with discomfort, process tough emotions, and not let them control your actions. We’re not trying to avoid the hard stuff, but we are going to make sure it doesn’t run the show.

If you’re ready to build emotional awareness and increase your overall emotional resilience, my Empowerment Blueprint can help make it happen for you.
