The Secret Language of Feelings

What if every tough emotion is a message on a malfunction

once you learn the code? You can change the response

and the secret language of feelings. We learn what those connections are. Anger, fear, sadness, um, guilt. They each carry a very specific request when we learn to focus and decode what they need. the need that the emotion quiets, uh, our choices are just wide open. We don't have to suppress it. We don't have to, we don't have to.

We don't have to crash out. I don't have to spiral out of control at all. And it's really, uh, about demystifying those connections. So anger is really about any time that you've been wronged, something important has been deprived of you, some injustice has been done to you, or some someone or something you care about and you're not dealing with it in a satisfying way.

Um, you're not resolving it. But you're not seeing the connection. Uh, fear is about safety and uncertainty. Uh, the need for information support, and, and, and, and it may even be there, but it's somehow your subconsciousness is, is, has got, has got another thing to say about that. And then guilt and shame. And this is, this is, this is what got me into this profession.

I am always trying to get free of it, which needs to be repaired. It's kind of the antithesis of anger. You know, I have wronged someone about something, and I feel terrible about it. But there's a way out.

See, when we interrupt the loop, when we notice. I'm feeling, and what do I think about it? Engaging the prefrontal cortex and tapping into the logical part of ourselves that we all have. What is this asking for? What is this about? And it's about understanding our feelings.

We don't have any other way of detecting our emotions. Except through how we feel. We feel our emotions being generated. Emotions generate feelings in the body. I don't feel, well, what? What's behind that?

And what we do with the secret language of feelings. We learned to decode those signals. We learned to correlate them. And with hypnosis. What we do is we figure out cause and effect. And when you're in a state of heightened ability to learn —not suggestibility —what you're really in is a heightened state of focus.

You can accept new, factually accurate information, and it clicks where it's never clicked before. And so when that thing that used to make you angry. Or used to make you fearful

that the switch is just gone. That's not the well-worn groove that you go down anymore. You don't spiral.

And think about this. Pick one feeling you've had this week. Give it a name, ask it, talk to it. What is it asking for? Do something satisfying about it. One minute, a six-second action. And then something we learn in wordless is how to anchor it with a cue, which allows you to get to that sense of calm and relaxation at any time.

Well, I hope I get to see you at some point, and I hope you get to learn more about the secret language of feelings. I'm Greg. That's it for now.
