How to Overcome tough emotions with self-compassion | reduce cortisol levels, release opiates/oxytocin

If you’re someone who feels overwhelmed with your tough emotions (such as anger, sadness, or grief), self compassion offers a natural way to face your feelings with ease.

What do you do in those tough moments of anger, sadness, grief, etc? It’s common in these moments to try to push the feeling away, avoid it, or judge it. This act of resistance actually makes the feeling become bigger and louder. What these feelings need the most from you is your awareness and self-compassion. This is where self-compassion comes in as a natural and healthy way to greet your emotions and help them release.

Self-compassion is about treating yourself with kindness vs judgement in these tough moments.

If you struggle with facing tough emotions or find that you’re quite harsh on yourself, watch the video below to discover an easy self-compassion practice (and some of the top benefits of self-compassion) that will help you cultivate a healthier approach to facing tough emotions.

Hi! I’m Joss Frank, founder of Wild Womb. I understand how womb and body healing ignites when you look within for guidance because I self-healed from my painful periods, depression, anxiety, sexual assault, emotional and physical abuse… after years of failed efforts to feel better about myself. My failed efforts led to a revelation that true healing comes from within and it requires loving community.

Today, as a Yoga Therapist in my practicum, I help people with womb and body healing so they can reclaim their feminine power, LOVE their sacred feminine bodies, and feel more confident.
