Being With Painful Feelings - Insight Live July 25, 2022

Painful, difficult feelings arise in all of us. We can meet them with gentle compassion, rather than fear and dread. We can stay present and care for whatever comes up rather than be carried away. We gathered on Insight Live, July 25, 2022 to share practices from the Community Resiliency Model, self-compassion , RAIN and more for being with painful feelings, and closed with a guided meditation. This audio is excerpted from that session. To skip the talk and go to the meditation advance to 34:43.

I really am going. To do something really tragic and I would love to be able to talk to somebody about it. I do have a therapist as psychiatrist, but I'm a 50 soon to be 51-year-old single mother of 2 girls. And that's the struggle, the 2 girls and the demons that I've carried and the 5 of Domino surgeries that I've had the last 2 and a 1/2 years. I have a lot of pain and a lot of trauma.. So any way that we can speak in person,?
I am In the medical field dental hygiene twenty years Plus ten before that as an assistance or thirty years of dentistry I really, really enjoy your voice. The way I feel calm down immediately. And you bring my mind into a realm of looking at things in a different way. I'm a very pessimistic person. I had a terrible childhood. Things in my adult life has not been great. I would really like to talk with you or communicate with you. On some level, it would be Is one of my Greatest moments to be able to speak to a woman like you
