Description
Sometimes all we want to do is a have a big, old fashioned sob and when we can't it leads us feeling emotionally pent up, defective and frustrated. There's an explanation for why we go through periods where we are unable to cry. In today's episode we discuss:
The evolutionary function of crying
Crying as an attachment behaviour
The difference between basal, reflex and emotional tears
The 4 major reasons we struggle with crying
How to heal your connection with your emotions
How we process emotions through the body, and more.
Listen now when you're in need of an emotional catharsis or could really do with a few tears.
