Uncomfortable sensations that are accompanied with habitual thoughts such as Make it go away can lead to unhealthy avoidance strategies such as addictions, ea...ting disorders, self- harming behaviors, or explosive emotional outbursts. Healing involves developing mindful awareness of your somatic (bodily) experience. Doing so will increase your capacity to tolerate the discomfort of big emotions and strong body sensations. Remember, all emotions are meant to come and go and like waves in the ocean. They will rise up, crest, and subside. Notice your own relationship to this wave. Sometimes you might want to block an emotion before the wave even comes to the shore for fear that you will be overtaken by the experience. It is important to know that even the biggest waves of emotions will not destroy you...

I recommend the Brene Brown special on Netflix. The topic of vulnerability, courage, and shame is so important! https://www.netflix.com/title/81010166
