The Positivity Xperience

If you feel compelled to soothe, explain, reassure, or fix whenever someone is upset, this episode is for you. In this episode, we unpack why so many people take responsibility for other people's emotions — and why this pattern is often mistaken for empathy. We explore the psychology behind emotional fixing, how early conditioning teaches us that discomfort is dangerous, and why the ego reinforces the need to manage others' feelings. You'll learn the difference between presence and control, why letting people feel their emotions can feel terrifying, and how fixing others actually prevents growth — for them and for you. This episode is about releasing emotional responsibility without guilt and reclaiming your energy, boundaries, and nervous system regulation. 🎧 In this episode, you'll learn: Why fixing feelings is not empathy How emotional responsibility gets conditioned early The role ego plays in fixing and rescuing Why letting others feel feels unsafe How to support without over-functioning This is a direct, psychology-based conversation about boundaries, emotional ownership, and learning to care without carrying what isn't yours.
