04 | Phil Herndon: The Language of Connection & Attachment

Feelings would be great if they didn’t make us feel so many things. Sometimes it seems like they are a nuisance, other times like they’re just too much to bear. But what if we changed our relationship with our feelings and started to believe they were the megaphone telling us what our heart is experiencing and desires to experience?
 
 In this episode, Phil Herndon (counselor and Clinical Director at Tin Man Ministries) talks about how beautiful and valuable our feelings are, and how getting to know them is critical to living a healthy, connected life. Opening ourselves up to the full range of our feelings allows us to walk through life knowing that at the end, as we “walk off the field with our uniform dirty,” we’ll be able to know we really lived.

(Audio Note: You may notice an echo in the audio throughout; sorry about that. It happened on the original recording and we didn’t notice it until after we finished. We did our best to eliminate as much of the echo as possible.)
