32: Emotional Blackouts And Emotional Hangovers

What are emotional blackouts and emotional hangovers? In this episode, we explore how our emotions and the stories we tell ourselves about people, places, and things can distort our perception and cause a physiological reaction that we have to recover from. We discuss how emotional sobriety, emotional intelligence, and emotional agility all play a part in our ability to tolerate life's challenges as well as four ways that we can better move through our own emotional rollercoasters.  Love Letters and Mixtapes is a weekly podcast with new episodes available every Monday at 9 am EST. Together, we'll discuss everything from mental health, emotional health, spirituality, trauma, ptsd, sobriety, recovery, grief, relationships, family dynamics, communication strategies, coping skills, and all aspects of health and wellness.  The inspiration for the podcast was a desire to write, share, and talk about things that our younger selves needed to hear, whether that was 30 years ago, 3 years ago, or yesterday. Together we can remix all the tapes and unconscious programming we have that usually trigger us into reactivity and find a new perspective that allows us to live life on life's terms with a measure of emotional sobriety.
