Episode 13: Dealing with Difficult Emotions
In this episode I talk about how we are hard-wired to avoid pain. While this is a great evolutionary feature for us in the physical world – we don’t have to find out the hard way that fire hurts each and every time – when it comes to our inner world, that avoidance does not usually have the best end results.
After sharing some personal stories of what I have found to be true in being able to deal with difficult emotions as they occur (and not), I walk us through the RAIN technique as today’s take-away. RAIN stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Nurture. It is a simple, yet powerful, tool in practicing how to deal with difficult emotions as they arise – instead of resisting them in one of the many ways we have learned to do.
