179. Why can't I cry?
Manage episode 407665701 series 3405968
Sometimes all we want to do is a have a big, old fashioned sob and when we can't it leads us feeling emotionally pent up, defective and frustrated. There's an explanation for why we go through periods where we are unable to cry. In today's episode we discuss:
- The evolutionary function of crying
- Crying as an attachment behaviour
- The difference between basal, reflex and emotional tears
- The 4 major reasons we struggle with crying
- How to heal your connection with your emotions
- How we process emotions through the body, and more.
Listen now when you're in need of an emotional catharsis or could really do with a few tears.
