Holding Intense Emotions - Insight Timer Live

In this recording of an Insight Timer Live from January 2022, Catherine shares how we can grow our capacity to hold emotional intensity without needing to numb, lash out, or isolate. We can experience powerful anger, sorrow, joy, and much more while keeping our hearts open, and staying connected to others. Embodied and trauma-informed.

Love love love this teacher!! Thank you again so much

I love all the practices Catherine shares in this live because sometimes it is really hard to know where “to go” with intense emotions.
I really related to Catherine’s example that she shares about parenting with her daughter, and I am going to try tune into some more body based Somatic mindfulness to help me regulate myself when feeling overwhelmed.
I loved the image of “Sending the anger down to the earth to get filtered” 💜

Another take-away that needs to percolate was “You can feels safe with your self and feel excruciating uncomfortable at the same time” and
“Can we hold a Non judgmental state about what is arising in our experience”. Absolute gems! I am taking these out of context and possibly paraphrasing. So I’d highly recommend listening to the full magic of this live!

So many useful tips and information in there. Thank you so very much. Will bookmark and listen again and again.
Love the humming...
