What repressed emotions are quietly running your life & career? [Diagnostic experience]
The emotions you've been avoiding are the one making your decisions.
Introduction
Lots of high performers take pride of not being easily affected by feelings, by being in control of their emotions and rising up above them. Feelings are frequently considered ‘lame’ and are avoided. Some of them are the feelings of failure, rejection, being out of control, looking incompetent and, of course, being disliked.
You probably don’t think of it that way, potentially call it discipline or standards. But underneath every pattern that’s keeping you stuck there’s an emotion you learned a long time ago that it was not safe to feel.
This experience is a short series of questions, each paired with a video from me that gives you context before you answer. There are no right answers. The value is in your honesty with yourself.
At the end, you can email me your answers and I’ll send you a personal reflection back or you can keep them private. Both are valuable. The awareness is the point.
Questions
Q1: What’s the recurring problem in your work or life right now, the one that keeps showing up no matter what you do?
Q2: What feeling would you have to sit with if that problem actually resolved or if you took the action you’ve been avoiding?
