Stop resisting painful emotions and do shadow work instead. The speaker walks through four steps: notice the feeling and when it started, ask where it came from, let it fully express itself without judgment, then reassure it with compassion. This process turns distress into growth.
You are like one step away from freedom. It is not the time to turn back. It is not the time to submit and admit defeat. It is the time to lean in to the emotions, lean into that part of you. And a very simple way you could work with that part of you is through shadow work, which I speak about all the time. But you want to accept that you feel this way. You want to just observe and notice the feelings, the emotions, the part of you. Notice when it was born. Ask it questions. Say, where did you come from? When did you feel like this before? What's wrong Why are you so upset? Why do you feel so bad? And then you want to let that part of you vent. It needs to say everything it never got to say before. And you just witness it. You love it. You sit with it. You don't judge it. You allow it to be exactly as it is. And you see it fully. Once the release phase is done, then you can reassure that part of you, tell them everything they need to hear to start healing from this and moving on from this. And then you can let that part of you be as they actually want to be.
