Text me your feedback.

This month, we're looking at a question that comes up a lot:

All parts are supposed to be welcome, but how do we work with feelings we don't like?

Drawing on Buddhist wisdom and the function of emotions, we're exploring:

  • Why equanimity is about including our feelings, not surprising them.
  • What the Buddhist teachings on dukkha (suffering) can tell us about why fighting against our emotions creates more suffering.
  • How so-called negative emotions serve as important internal motivators.

+ Simple techniques to start reframing your relationship with difficult feelings in order to create a welcoming inner atmosphere for all your parts.

Mentioned In The Episode:
Join me for one of my upcoming Pause and Reset gatherings—hour-long meditative sessions combining desk-friendly yoga, mindfulness practice and parts work meditations. The next one is on June 4th and is pay what you can.
