How to Stop Fighting Your Emotions

Most of us were never taught what to do with a difficult emotion, so we do the only things we know: suppress it, shove it down, or act it out. But what if fighting the feeling is part of what keeps it around? In this video, I explain why fighting an emotion is exactly what makes it stick around, and the simple shift from fighting it to allowing it.

The free guided release walks you through one technique step by step, so you can feel a release for yourself instead of just hearing about it. Releasing, the way I teach it in the Golden Mind Method, could really be called allowing, because what you resist persists and what you allow can actually leave. Rather than trying to force an emotion away, you learn to let it be there without fighting it. As you continue allowing, the feeling can peak, weaken, and eventually run out on its own. It's like a Chinese finger trap. The harder you pull, the tighter it grips. When you stop pulling against it, the grip loosens.
