Guilt After Growth, Staying Steady When You Cry Easily & Avoiding Anger (Couch Talks)

Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

About

First up is an email from a husband, who’s on the other side of early therapy and discovering something not talked about enough: the guilt and regret that can show up after self-awareness. Amy and Kat talk through the emotional J-curve of growth, why feeling worse can actually mean you’re healing, and how to hold accountability without getting stuck in shame. The second email is from an empathetic mom navigating a high-conflict co-parenting situation and the fear of going back to court. She asks the question so many people silently carry: How do I stay steady when I cry under pressure? Kat gives tips on how to ground yourself when your nervous system wants to take over. Also, discussed in this episode is avoiding the feeling of anger, book recommendations (Theo of Golden) and more.
