EPISODE 10
Emotional Alchemy, Love, and the Wisdom of the Heart (Christina Silvestri)
Most people are taught to suppress emotions, avoid them, or project them onto someone else.
Christina Silvestri, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Journey of the Heart Counseling, offers a different path rooted in emotion-focused therapy and evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and EMDR. Her work blends neuroscience, clinical experience supporting trauma and crisis cases, and a deep emphasis on compassion-led healing.
In this conversation with Josh and Travis, she explains that emotions aren’t bad–they’re energy, they contain information, and when they’re held with love, they return back to love.
The episode explores crying as release, anxiety and depression as symptoms of containment, the body as the doorway back to feeling, and the heart as the place where emotional energy is cleaned, integrated, and transformed.
They also talk about EMDR, sourdough as an analogy for emotional integration, the ocean of emotion in relationships, grounded presence, equine therapy, and the deeper truth Christina says God gave her.
Join for a journey through the heart, into the body, and back to the truth of love.
