Emotions Microdosing: How to Feel Big Feelings in Small, Supported Doses

Welcome back to All the Feels! 💛

If you’ve ever feared that fully feeling your emotions might pull you under or last forever, this episode is for you.

Today, Lauren Carlisle Brown introduces a powerful, gentle practice she created called Emotions Microdosing — a way to feel your feelings in small, intentional doses that build nervous system safety without letting emotions take over.

Born from a season of deep personal heartbreak, Emotions Microdosing is the practice of allowing yourself to feel just a little at a time — one breath, one song, or one brief moment — before intentionally coming back to the present. It’s about keeping emotions moving instead of bottling them up, so you can honor your feelings and keep functioning in daily life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What “Emotions Microdosing” is and how it works
  

• How to feel your emotions without getting stuck in them
  

• The truth about why big emotions sometimes feel endless
  

• How to balance emotional release with everyday responsibilities
  

• Why microdosing emotions creates long-term emotional resilience
  

Try This Practice

When a wave of emotion hits, try this: 1️⃣ Set a small time window (5–60 seconds, or one song). 2️⃣ Breathe and let yourself fully feel the emotion. 3️⃣ Intentionally come back — notice your surroundings, ground your feet, and return to your day.

These small moments of feeling build massive safety and self-trust over time.
