There's something about the holiday season that often intensifies the way we feel. For some, this time of the year feels uplifting and full of celebration and connection. And, for others this time of the year is more fraught with family tension, grief and loneliness. I get it! All feelings are intelligent and bring with them important information. They're here for some good reason, but many of us (including myself!) were never taught how to be with our feelings without being driven by them. Not only did we often feel driving by our feelings, but we may have felt tangled up in the reactions to those feelings! For example, maybe you’ve felt anxious and simultaneously wished that the anxiety would go away, which can lock us into an inner-struggle. In The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk M.D. writes: "Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves."
That’s sounds like a heavy burden and an impossible ask. But …. Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF) is an empowering, body-oriented process rooted in just that - becoming aware of your inner experience and building a respectful, honoring and allowing kind of relationship with it. So you that you can have your feelings without being driven by them. For example, you’ll find you’re able to be with worries without getting knocked down by them.
