EP #290 - Unshakably Well - An Interview with author and psychotherapist, Rachel Kaplan
I truly love my job. I get to meet so many interesting and fascinating people. I am thrilled to welcome Rachel Kaplan to Empowering Chats. Rachel is a psychotherapist and the author of “Feel, Heal & Let That Shit Go.”
At the tender age of 14 Rachel experienced great trauma when the boy she fell in love with took his life. In her words, she became dead inside and did not know how to process her grief and trauma so she shifted into her very active brain, ignoring her emotions. Then at the age of 16 she started therapy but did not reach full -fledged healing until she reached 18. That is when she knew she wanted to be a therapist.
It took her until she hit 37 before she felt like her baseline of self-love was enough. And this was after she had already been a therapist for 10 years.
Rachel wrote this book in order to help others work through the necessary pieces that can make the difference between compensating for their emotional wounds and learning how to break that cycle and get to a place of well-being, so that they have a baseline of self-love.
In Rachel’s words, “I did this book because I didn’t want this to take others as long as it took me.”
There is such a difference between feeling unshakably well and looking okay. Rachel feels there is a lack of understanding in the therapy world and most people at best are managing a part of themselves that feels very unlovable.
According to Rachel, emotions are clusters of sensations that signal something to us, but no one really taught us how to work with those and how to let the emotions flow through our body. We were conditioned out of our feelings. And many of us eat, smoke, go shopping, distract ourselves or find other ways to not deal with our pain and our emotions.
Life is for living and it includes feeling your emotions and allowing them to pass through you so you can process and move on.
