Shownotes

In TMS healing, we’re working to uncover the hard-to-feel feelings. We’re looking for the “I don’t feel…” We’re looking for the emotions you’re defended against and the emotions you’re scared to feel. Today, I’m showing you how to feel what you really feel.

In this Episode:

🔹 Three examples from my life, where I start at the surface, and show what it looks like to dig deeper.

🔹 A model for you to dig deeper yourself.

🔹 I answer the common TMS question, “how do I feel my feelings?”

This is a fun one, and it’s some great information. Join in.
