Many of us were never taught how to work with emotions beyond suppressing them, performing them, or being overwhelmed by them. At candi dugas collective, emotional healing happens as we increase our emotional literacy by:

• recognizing + naming feelings
• understanding what they want to/are saying to us
• allowing them to move without judgment or urgency

Our storytelling approach to emotional healing is clutch.

Stories provide containers for, and give shape to, emotions - offering mirrors without the weight of diagnosis, and creating distance wide enough to exhale. Through narratives + prompts in various forms, we help people reflect on their inward realities + memories so that they can be balanced + sovereign.

Leaders of our spaces are trained to recognize + refer to other professionals when emotional pain may need more support than reflection alone can offer. When appropriate, we guide people toward therapeutic resources while honoring the wisdom already present in their emotional experiences, reflections, stories, etc.

Explore how the following resources can help you heal emotionally, by tapping the buttons that resonate with you the most:

• Licensed Therapists, with their tools, create + support safer containers where you can explore + name your feelings and have them be understood so that you can best process them.
