235. Emotions Aren't the Problem
Episode 235
Thursday, 22 January, 2026

Do you ever find yourself thinking you shouldn’t feel anxious, sad, or have a bad day?In episode 235 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick explores why so many of us judge our emotions, apologise for how we feel, or try to think our way out of discomfort, and how that often makes things harder rather than easier.Drawing on his coaching work and a deeply personal week, Patrick reflects on emotional conditioning, the messages many of us learned growing up, and what happens when emotions aren’t allowed space. He shares his experience of attending a funeral, noticing how grief showed up in his body, and the contrast of moving from loss to laughter in the same day.Rather than trying to fix emotions or force positivity, this episode looks at a different approach: curiosity instead of resistance.Awesome things you'll hear about:Why many men believe certain emotions aren’t acceptableHow emotional conditioning starts early and gets passed downWhy we apologise for how we feelThe problem with plastering positive thinking over difficult emotionsHow grief, sadness, and anxiety show up in the bodyWhy distraction, food, alcohol, and scrolling often become coping toolsHow resistance can make emotions louderWhy getting curious about feelings can reduce unnecessary sufferingIf you’re tired of judging how you feel or trying to escape it, this episode will help you look at emotions differently, without turning them into a problem that needs fixing.Disrupt Your Life Register Interest here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patrickjfox.com/disrupt-your-life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Patrick:Discover how coaching can support your goals in rethinking alcohol. 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Patrick:Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠patrickjfox.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thealcoholrethinkpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to stop drinking but not ready for coaching?
