Sitting with Pain: Finding freedom through courageous feeling
In this episode, we're going to explore the power of being fully present with the painful emotions we experience and how, exactly, to do this (as well as how not to do it). This topic might seem like an oddly placed one in the midst of a season of episodes that's intended to be geared towards conscious relationships. And yet, the truth is that emotional opposites are intimately entangled. Painful emotions and pleasurable emotions are, in essence, two sides of the same dualistic coin. And that's why this episode is included here in the midst of a season about conscious relationships, love, connection, etc. Because to love more consciously we must bring more consciousness to all of our feeling experiences—the painful ones included.ResourcesFocusing ResourcesFocusing Therapy: The Classic Six StepsFocusing-Oriented Therapy Instructions (PDF guide)Focusing-Oriented Therapy One: Learning How the Body Speaks and Listening so it Heals (workshop)Podcast EpisodesEp. 92: Beyond Victimhood—Reclaiming and revealing your own inner HeroEp. 88: Healing Beyond Shame: How shame sustains shadow repression + how to disintegrate ’Shamewalls’Ep. 32: Spiritual Bypassing and the Fragmented SelfEp. 10: Triggered: Using emotional triggers as a roadmap to healingReclamation Radio by Dr. Kelly Brogan: Ep. 100—How to Stop Repeating Toxic Relationship PatternsBooksHow to Be Loving* by Daniella LaPorteHow to Do the Work* by Dr. Nicole LePeraThe Surrender Experiment* by Michael A.
