WHO'S RUNNING YOUR CONTROL CONSOLE?
If you’ve ever seen Inside Out, you’ll remember the control console inside Riley’s mind.
At different times, Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust each took the wheel, shaping her thoughts, decisions and relationships. The same is true for us.
We all have emotions that rise up and 'take the controls'.
The question is, do we want joy to be leading the way, or are heavier emotions like fear, shame, sadness, guilt or anger quietly running the show without us even realising?
Many of us don’t realise these emotions are quietly shaping the way we live, love and lead.
Sometimes they don’t appear as a meltdown or a breakdown but instead show up in subtle ways like:
💥 A raised tone with someone you care about
🫠 A sarcastic comment that lands heavier than you meant
🏃🏻♂️ Avoiding a hard conversation or withdrawing when triggered
📱 Relying on coping mechanisms like scrolling, eating or even over-exercising
Did you know?
😨 Fear: often lives in the body as tightness in the chest or racing thoughts and when left unregulated, it can quietly drive our choices and keep us small
😢 Sadness arises as heaviness, tears or fatigue but when avoided, it can turn into disconnection from others.
😔 Guilt shows up as knots in the stomach and over-apologising and when ignored, it keeps us stuck in cycles of self-punishment.
🫣 Shame floods the body with heat and a collapsing posture and if unspoken, it damages our sense of worth and closeness in relationships.
😡 Anger rises as tension, clenched jaws and reactive words but when suppressed or exploding, it erodes trust and safety with the people we love.
Is this you?
- Do you notice you 'snap' more than you’d like?
- Do you catch yourself avoiding what feels too big?
- Do you feel guilty for resting, or shame for not being enough?
- Do you keep pushing emotions down, only for them to spill out sideways?
Starting on Tuesday 16th September, 7pm for five weeks in my Emotional Intelligence Academy Essentials group container, we’ll be unpacking each of these emotions together: why they rise, how they live in your body, what happens in your relationships if they aren’t regulated, and how to meet them with awareness and compassion instead.
You’ll also receive reflection worksheets for each emotion, designed to help you notice where it shows up in your body, your behaviours and your relationships and begin shifting how you respond.
This five-week series offers you:
🫶🏼 Live group coaching
💖 A safe space to increase your conscious awareness
🪞 Reflection worksheets to help you integrate the work
🌱 Emotional growth that impacts every part of your life
You’re invited to join us for the full five weeks for just $149. If you can't make the calls, you can still join us to receive the replays.
