Comforting Difficult Emotions

This meditation focuses on relating to uncomfortable emotions without trying to fix or distract. The goal is to spend time with the discomfort with compassion and care as opposed to trying to "feel better". Doing this practice consistently helps your nervous system relearn that emotions themselves are not a threat and that you are capable of tolerating the discomfort that may come. This is not a replacement for work with a licensed professional and is best done while working with a therapist. Listen to your level of tolerance and please stop and talk to your therapist if this takes you out of the window of tolerance.
