“If we’re going to change ingrained, habituated behaviors, we cannot do it at 100 miles per hour. There’s just no way.” – Terri Cole

Intro

How do you react to seeing a friend, sibling, or partner having a rough time?

Not how do you respond, but how do you react?

Do you immediately jump to share ideas or thoughts to try to fix their problem?

Or do you inadvertently invalidate their feelings by saying, “Hey, it’s not so bad. It’ll be better tomorrow”?

If you’re nodding your head, this episode is for you. I am talking about the transformative power of learning to sit with emotional discomfort, why you may feel compelled to avoid it by taking action, and what you can do instead.
