Ep. 348 There Are No Negative Emotions

by | Jul 22, 2026 | Emotional Health & Healing

Do you struggle with anger, fear, sadness, or anxiety and wonder if these emotions are somehow wrong? Have you ever tried to suppress your feelings in the hope that they would simply go away?

In this episode, I explore a powerful truth that can transform the way we view emotional health and healing: there are no “negative emotions.” Emotions are gifts from God that provide important information about our experiences, relationships, and needs. Together, we’ll reflect on why emotions like fear, sadness, and anger are not the problem—and how learning to recognize, process, and guide them with reason can lead to greater freedom and peace.

Drawing from Catholic teaching, the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the work of Dr. Conrad Baars, I discuss how emotional healing, forgiveness, and faith work together to support spiritual growth. We’ll also look at how unprocessed wounds and trauma can affect our lives and how God’s grace can help bring restoration.

Join me for this encouraging reflection. Which emotion have you found most difficult to understand, and how might God be inviting you to listen to it differently?
