If you haven’t seen the new movie Inside Out 2, check it out when you can! It was a great reminder of our human emotions. The movie introduced some new characters like “anxiety”, “fear” and “embarrassment “, to name a few.  The characters are portrayed by different emotions we all experience. Every emotion serves a purpose giving homage and honor to them all, from joy to sadness, to envy, and many more.

Many things in life can make us feel “Inside Out.” There was even a quote in the movie talking about making mistakes, that you’ve made them before and you’ll probably make them again, shining a light on being an imperfect human, but moving on from mistakes.

The movie was a great reminder we are human. Sometimes we may forget that or put pressure on ourselves to be perfect. If you find yourself having some emotional challenges, give yourself grace, and know that you are not alone.

Whether or not your friends and family do or do not understand your situation or emotions, sometimes it can be helpful to have an unbiased professional who can shed light, give guidance, teach coping skills and more to assist in helping you.

Emotions are one of the most important subjects in psychotherapy. Emotion processing is an important factor for successful psychotherapy. Clients tend to suffer from maladaptive emotions, which contribute to states of confusion, rumination, and stagnation. On its own, processing emotional experiences can induce adaptive and healthy desires; however, using compassionate self exercises helps the client to integrate complicated emotions and to approach their own values in a more direct way.’ (Asano).
