After the Tears: How Marissa Remy Turns Crying into Self-Care
Episode Overview
- Crying is described as a natural reset for the body and a healthy, often private, emotional release.
- Emotions are said to move in cycles, so giving them time and space helps them complete rather than get suppressed.
- Self-care after crying might include showering, resting, eating, drinking water, or simply slowing down and breathing.
- Offering support to others in pain can mean just sitting with them and sharing your own tears instead of trying to fix things.
- Treating yourself with love and gentleness during hard times is framed as essential, especially for those doing deep inner and recovery work.
“Sometimes the solution is no solution.”
What emotional and inspiring tales of recovery are out there? This conversation with hypnotherapist and addiction recovery specialist Marissa Remy zooms in on a tender moment most people gloss over: what actually happens after you cry. Drawing from a 1:1 client session, Marissa talks through those days when life feels like “hell” and every area seems to be falling apart.
She shares how her own subconscious reprogramming, mind power practices and energy work help her remember, “Everything that you're being handed is exactly what you can handle. You are more capable than you realise.” You’ll hear her describe crying as a natural reset, comparing it to other private, bodily releases that are healthy but often kept secret.
She normalises big emotional days, saying, “If there is a whole afternoon that I'm grieving and crying and I can't do anything except for eat chips… that's completely okay. And I love myself through that process.” The heart of the episode focuses on what to do after the tears stop: giving emotions time to finish their cycle, slowing down so mind and body can “catch up”, and practising radical self-kindness instead of rushing into problem-solving.
She talks about simple “medicine” like showering to cleanse your energy, eating, resting, or just sitting with yourself the way you’d sit beside someone you care about. Marissa also touches on being the one who ‘holds’ others through grief, from children to family members, and the challenge of finding people strong enough to hold you too. Sometimes, she suggests, “the solution is no solution” – simply being there, singing, talking, crying together.
If you’ve ever felt drained, guilty or confused after a big cry, this episode offers a gentle reminder that tears are part of healing, and that you’re allowed to rest, eat crisps, and let the wave pass. How might your recovery change if you treated crying as care rather than weakness?
