#17 Feeling Vs. Releasing Emotions - What Is Emotional Release? What's The Difference Compared To Feeling Emotions? We Asked An Emotional Release Expert!

Hearts Wide Open - The Men's Mental Health Podcast

On this episode we talk with Leon who's currently in training to become a neo-emotional release facilitator. Dennis and Leon met on a retreat last summer where they instantly connected as "tent buddies" in the camp.

Leon's energy and capacity to hold space for people and their emotions is inspiring. Together we were able to go deep into our own emotions and experience what emotional release can feel like. Yes you heard right, we did this live on this episode! This episode felt almost like a small men's circle.

We also discuss the differences between mind and emotion, as well as the difference between feeling and releasing emotions.

Join us in this space of safety where emotions are welcome to flow and witness as we dive deeper into working with our bodies and emotions.

This episode links nicely to the episode we did on Trauma:

#15 Help! I Think I'm Traumatized - What Is Trauma, Where Does Trauma Come From And How Can I Cope? Conversation With A Traumatherapist
