Learning to Feel What We Run From

🎧 EPISODE 22: Learning to Feel What We Run From

Many of us spend our lives trying to escape uncomfortable emotions—staying busy, overthinking, fixing, achieving, or distracting ourselves from what lies beneath the surface. But what if the very feelings we avoid are the ones most capable of healing us?

In this episode of The Human Experience (THE) Podcast, Dr. Carlos Garcia and Supna Doshi explore the nature of emotional pain, the tendency to intellectualize our experiences, and the courage required to truly feel what we have spent years avoiding. They discuss postpartum depression, anxiety, childhood loneliness, inner child work, and the ongoing process of uncovering the experiences that continue to shape our lives. Together, Carlos and Supna examine how seemingly ordinary childhood experiences can leave lasting emotional imprints, why productivity and busyness often become forms of emotional avoidance, and how therapy can help us reconnect with parts of ourselves that have long gone unseen.

This episode invites listeners to approach their emotions with curiosity rather than resistance, trust the wisdom that difficult feelings may carry, and embrace the possibility that growth begins when we stop running from what we feel.

✨ Sometimes healing doesn't come from finding the answer—it comes from finally allowing yourself to feel the question.
