26. change IS scary; treat it like an experiment


Listen Later

Change is definitely at the forefront of my mind right now as my due date approaches and all the other things happening in life right now plus this seemed to be a theme that kept coming up with clients so I figured I would record an episode about it! I chat all things change and I share how I am trying to approach and navigate this time for myself and of course leave you with some really tangible things to try for yourself! Oh and I might go on a few tangents, oopsies!

RAIN technique:
R: recognize what is coming up for you
A: allow yourself to fully experience and feel the emotions coming up without trying to fix, avoid or push away
I: investigate with curiosity, not judgment (where do I feel this in my body? what stories am I telling myself right now? what do I need in this moment?)   
N: nurture with compassion; essentially treat yourself like you would treat a dear friend or loved one going through this experience

Book mentioned (& one I 1000% recommend): Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach
