On this episode, Jacqueline and I are going to explore the action of “Just sitting with, or being with, your feelings”. This idea of just being with your feelings or fully feeling your feelings is something many of us have heard from therapists, coaches or spiritual mentors. “Just sitting with” is a concept that is also preached by all the sages over the ages.
What does “just sitting with your feelings even mean”? How is this not just avoidance? Why is this paradoxically considered an act of courage in spiritual teachings? What is the benefit and what are the costs of sitting with our feelings? All of this and much more in the next hour.
