The Road to Wellness - Dr. Marjorie Kinney

Dealing with Yucky Feelings

Most of us instinctively try and push difficult feelings and emotions away. If we don’t face the source, however, these emotions will keep popping up and upsetting us in different and unscheduled ways. Why do we push them away? It can just feel too scary to let them come to the surface! RAIN is a way to gently investigate and deal with those “yucky” situations, giving us a tool to really start feeling a difference.

Be curious. Be open. Have fun.
