Sit In It

In the wake of my recent nuptials, I embarked on a bit of an emotional roller coaster of joy and sadness that the big day was over! In this episode, I walk you through the experience of complex emotions and the decision I had to make: to sit in it. This week, we tackle one of the hardest skills in the mental health toolbox: the ability and discipline to sit in our emotions and allow them to pass, to really feel them and not medicate, undervalue, or minimize them. This ability - to actually and really feel our feelings - opens us up to emotional maturation in a way that nothing else can. We want to step away from the tough ones AND the good ones and go back to numb neutrality, but we should never, ever do that. This week, we're going to learn how to sit in it.
