Do you explain your emotions instead of actually feeling them?

In this Relish Quick Bite, Alyssia Sheikh explores rationalizing emotions—a common coping strategy where understanding replaces feeling. While explanation can soothe the mind, it doesn’t help emotions move through the body.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What rationalizing emotions looks like
- Why understanding isn’t the same as processing
- How intellect can override emotional awareness
- Why feelings don’t need to make sense to matter
- A gentle way to begin feeling without overwhelm

???? Reflection:
Where do you explain instead of feel—and what might happen if you stayed for just 10 seconds longer?
