THE HIDDEN HEART: Revealing Your Emotional Truth

Simply Human

About this episode

"Text us your thoughts and questions!"

In this episode we diver deeper into how the “hidden” parts of our awareness, specifically Hidden Feelings and Emotions. Hidden feelings and emotions can contribute to feeling drained, anxiety, and strain in relationships. We will continue to work with the JOHARI window as the model for brining what is “hidden” into the “open” domain.

DISCERNMENT REFLECTION:

  1. Identify a feeling or emotion you keep hidden.
  2. Rate the intensity. 1-10.
  3. What do you wish you could disclose and write it down. “If I could be completely honest right now…”

STEPS TO INCREMENTAL DISCLOSURE

  1. Identify GREEN (easy), YELLOW (more challenging), and RED (difficult) emotions
  2. Start with sharing Green emotions more intentionally until it feels natural.
  3. Then try sharing Yellow feelings and emotions with someone you trust.
  4. Finally, try sharing Red emotions with your most trusted person/people.
  5. Use “I” language or “I am feeling X in response to situation Y, because it causes/triggers/means Z” 
  6. Practice will lead to it becoming easier.
