💡 Key Insights from the Episode:

• Emotions as Guides: Emotions are not "good" or "bad." Each emotion holds a specific gift and message crucial for personal growth.
• Anger and Boundaries: Anger often signals boundary violations and highlights personal values. Learning to respond appropriately fosters healthier relationships.
• Emotional Clusters: Emotions often appear together — like sadness and anger — each serving a purpose in supporting healing and protection.
• Regulation and Co-regulation: Skillfully working with your emotions allows for better self-regulation and supports co-regulation with others, particularly in coaching relationships.
• Frozen Panic & Trauma: High-intensity emotions like rage often indicate unresolved trauma. Approaching these emotions with skill leads to healing.
