Blair's Bad Day - How to Process Pain


Listen Later

Sometimes, days just suck. You can't deny it...it's just hard. So what do we do when we have a terrible day? Do we run? Sit in it? Invite people into it? In this episode, Blair and justin discuss the idea of having a crappy day, and how to respond.

 

A few highlights of the episode:

- The most powerful way to love someone is to be present with them (not to fix them!).

- We have to be vulnerable and empathetic when we are connecting with someone else's pain. 

- Processing pain requires us to "get behind" the anger, and allow ourselves to feel sad or disappointed. 

- We have emotions and they are going to be felt...it just matters how and when.

- You must give yourself time to be present with your emotions.

- If you sit in the present, your authentic emotions will emerge.

- Create relationships where people can be present with you as you are going through emotions.
