Hey friends, welcome back to Wellness Within Her! I’m Jeri Mallow, and today we’re talking about something I think every single one of us has struggled with at some point—those moments when your heart is aching, your mind is spinning, and you’re desperately trying to make sense of life with nothing but logic.

You know the feeling—your brain is screaming, “This shouldn’t hurt this much!” while your heart quietly whispers, “It does, and that’s okay.”

Today, I want to talk about how to sit with your feelings without being consumed by them, and how to move from being stuck in the pain to actually learning from it. Because here’s the truth: you can sit with your feelings, acknowledge them, become friends with them, and gently close the box—without having to relive every painful moment.
 You can carry the wisdom forward without needing to overanalyze or obsess.

And yes, we’re going to add some humor, because sometimes the only way to survive your own emotions is to laugh at yourself a little.

 Last week, we talked about how our first assumptions are often false — and how, when we slow down and look deeper, truth and compassion start to surface.
 This week, we’re going even deeper — into the why behind those assumptions. What wounds, what unmet needs, what unhealed stories live beneath our reactions?

In part one, we practiced Dr. Gabor Maté’s ‘5 Things’ exercise — listing five possible reasons someone acted the way they did. Today, we’ll explore how compassionate inquiry helps us uncover the root — not just the reaction.

Faith tie-in:

Psalm 139:23–24 — “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.”

When we invite God to search our hearts, it’s not about shame — it’s about understanding. He reveals the wound so He can heal it.

 Ever caught yourself assuming the worst about someone you love—before even giving them a chance to explain? In this episode of Wellness Within Her, Jeri explores why our minds leap to negative conclusions and how those assumptions often tell us more about our own past pain than about the present.

Using stories from her own life, client experiences, and Dr. Gabor Maté’s “Five Things” exercise, Jeri teaches a simple yet powerful practice to pause, reflect, and uncover the truth beneath our fears. You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize when your reactions come from old wounds, not reality
  
  
  
• Use curiosity to soften relationships and bring grace into conflict
  
  
  
• Shift from self-blame to understanding
  
  
  
• Practice compassionate reflection that transforms your interactions
  
  
  

Through relatable examples—from a flustered barista to the challenges of parenting teens—Jeri shows that slowing down and asking, “What else could be true?” can open the door to empathy, connection, and healing.

✨ Healing begins when we stop assuming and start asking.

She talks about learning to trust God in the stillness, embracing moments of quiet, and giving herself permission to rest—without guilt.

• How to define what rest looks like for you.
  
  
  
• Practical ways to practice mindfulness with God at the center.
  
  
  
• Scripture reminders that rest is God’s idea, not ours.
