THIS is how you control your emotions

Anyone else getting these videos soon after an emotional battle? It’s like my phone is spying on me and for once I’m not mad about it!

"Most of the time we're reacting to the story that we told ourselves." Wow! That's so important to me.

I had a moment of self appreciation recently in a hard conversation with my partner I felt my body go into fight/flight and paused before speaking out of heightened emotion. The outcome was I suggested taking a short break and continue the conversation when we had both cooled off and when we did come back, we were a lot more calm and real. I wouldn’t have done that a few years ago so pat on the back for me!

The hardest part is to pause!!

We need as many lightworkers like you as possible ! Amazing poignant teachings.

Nicole is the only one who can explain these things with such ease and clarity. Forever grateful for what she does!

I needed this video today after a betrayal that hurt 😞 😅😢 me so deeply thank you 🙏 ❤😊

I'm trying to respond not react but it's such an entrenched habit, I binge eat, or overexecise, cry, say something mean to loved ones or catastrophise and self sabotage 😢then over analyse and push people away, this content has been helping me so much! I've been journaling a lot about this using holistic psychologist journal prompts, thank you so much for this! I'm going to try and celebrate my shifts from respond and not reacting! pausing is hard in the moment so I've been practising conscious check ins too

I admire Dr. LePera's holistic approach; it's refreshing and empowering. Learning to respond rather than react is pivotal for personal growth. The emphasis on pausing and self-compassion resonates deeply.

Perfect timing! I've just been journalling about the (theoretical - hah!) difference between reacting and responding... But now I'm 'fessing up to myself about my own very subtle 'reactions' - occasional binge eating, and occasional small cute item (ie useless, a waste of money) binge shopping. In the past when I have 'tried' to restrain, hold myself back it's felt like an incredibly unpleasant screeching of brakes, but with the inevitability that I'm still heading over that cliff edge and diving into a pit of craving. But, after this video, I feel I now have a 'non-confrontational' method. This method feels like it is both subtle enough and forgiving enough to make a difference to those debilitating reactions to my feelings of emptiness and sadness. Thank you. I have hope! 🙏

This is me about the responses back to my text communication. It literally feels like EVERYONE ignores me all at the same time and I go into the negative scripts about myself. “Am I being annoying? They must hate me. I texted too much. No one cares.” Thanks for posting how to address this, Doc. 💜

🎯 The Pause - the first step, especially in today’s fast pace word where an immediate “response” has been expected and normalized, will take much awareness...to Pause, and process the situation objectively. I like the strategy of placing your hand on your belly as a physical reminder to focus on your breathing. I have sought counseling since November for how I have responded to my wife. Content like this is very helpful. 🎯

I've suffered with this my whole life, and have finally resorted to avoiding people. I would love to not have intense feelings and physical responses, but I haven't been able to accomplish regulation yet, all that works is removing myself. Exposure doesn't work with me at all. I will continue to try, and this video is helpful.. I'm just saying I think my trauma may be too deep to make much progress very quickly. I have very strong somatic reactions to certain situations and even thinking about going back there.. I have to protect my health.

I’m going to share this video. Thank you so much! I hope and pray I can shift from react to response. ❤
