188. Processing Emotions: The What, Why, and How

Author: Lindsay Dotzlaf June 4, 2024 Duration: 31:52

When big emotions come up for us, we often tell ourselves something along the lines of, "I don't have time for this," especially if it happens out in public or around other people. It might present as heaviness or tightness in your chest, a catching in your throat, or that feeling that you'll cry if someone just glances your way. The truth is the emotion will bubble up and spill over into your life if you don't address it, and that's why I'm guiding you through this process today.

 

Learn what processing emotions means, and how practicing it creates self-awareness, self-trust, and self-safety. I'm showing you what processing emotions might look like in real time, my favorite, simplest way to process my emotions, and how you can help your clients navigate their big emotions.

There’s a gap between learning the theory of coaching and actually sitting with a client in a real, messy session. Mastering Coaching Skills lives in that space. Hosted by life coach Lindsay Dotzlaf, this podcast moves beyond certifications and coursework to focus on the practical, often unspoken, abilities that define great coaches. Lindsay draws from her own experiences to discuss how to navigate tricky client conversations, build genuine confidence, and apply techniques in ways that feel authentic.

It’s for coaches who are done just studying and are ready to deepen their craft through actionable reflection. Each episode feels like a candid mentorship chat, offering tangible advice you can use immediately. If you’re building a coaching practice in the business, entrepreneurship, or personal development fields, this podcast serves as a steady resource for honing the real-world skills that truly make a difference for your clients.
