Reclaiming What Is Hard
There are a lot of difficult parts of being human, and all of those things tend to revolve around feelings that arise within us that are hard to tolerate. Feelings that we have never been taught to feel. Feelings that we have been told are bad. Feelings that now, when they arise, overwhelms, paralyzes and collapses us.
In this series, I want to break down some of these difficult feelings, shed light on what they may mean, and explore different ways of thinking and relating to them so that you may find wisdom in what is hard.
Episode one: Regret
Regret can be a difficult emotion to bear when we have been told all of our lives that to regret is a waste of time. In this episode I explore regret more deeply and give some ideas for how to think about regret differently.
Episode two: Anger
Anger is often the emotion most attribute to their violent, aggressive tendencies. But what if anger held more wisdom for us that that? And how could anger actually be useful?
Episode three: Envy
In this episode, I explore envy, jealousy and the destructive force underlying the longing for what we do not have.
Episode four: Loneliness
In this episode, I explore loneliness and how we can understand what happens within us when we feel so despairingly alone.
