Why It’s Okay to Feel with Dene Selkin
On the second episode of It’s Okay to Feel, Jenipher & Nōn kick it off by exploring what feelings mean to them, growing up not feeling safe to feel our feelings, and feelings in men. We then shift into a deep conversation with therapist Dene Selkin about why it's okay to feel our feelings, our feeling toolboxes, and why it's difficult to feel your feelings.
In this episode we talk about:
Gender dynamics and feelings.
Why it's truly okay to feel (no matter who you are).
Building your feeling toolboxes.
"Bad" and "good" feelings.
The feelings journey.
And more!
