Embracing Pain: Joe Ryan on Sitting with Uncomfortable Feelings

The more you can sit with the feelings, the more you start to teach yourself that you are stronger than your fears, that you are stronger than your body reactions, than you are stronger than your anxiety.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your own emotions, not knowing how to process them? In this episode of 'It's Not You, It's Your Trauma', Joe Ryan tackles the challenging topic of sitting with uncomfortable feelings. Joe opens up about the importance of allowing ourselves to grieve losses, whether they be emotional or physical, and how taking the time to focus on our pains can lead to personal growth and resilience.
He likens this process to grieving a significant loss, such as the death of a loved one, emphasizing that it's okay to take time for yourself to process these feelings. Joe shares his personal journey of learning to manage his body’s reactions by identifying where pain and tension manifest. He encourages listeners to sit with their feelings, rather than suppress them, and to gradually build strength over time.
This episode is a heartfelt guide on how to balance acknowledging pain without letting it consume you. Joe's message is clear: it's okay to feel pain, but it's crucial not to get stuck in it. By giving ourselves space to sit with our discomfort, we can teach ourselves to become stronger than our fears and anxieties.
Whether you're dealing with daily stress or deep-seated trauma, Joe's insights offer practical advice and hope for anyone looking to navigate their emotional landscape more effectively.
