Episode notes
Three Steps: Compassion, Truth, Action
- Acknowledge feelings with compassion first, then discern which thoughts are true or false.
- Decide a practical next step and choose where you will emotionally dwell to prevent relapse into the old feeling.
Notice Feelings Without Identifying With Them
- Emotional processing requires metacognition: noticing feelings without over-identifying and then querying them.
- Tools like ADD, SNAP, and RAIN help people lead their inner world toward equanimity.
Calm Your Body Before You Think
- Before using logical tools, calm your nervous system so you can think clearly.
- Turn on the parasympathetic response (breath, grounding) to enable discernment and wise decisions.
