Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People (HSP): Inner Work and Strategies for Coping with Stress, Overwhelm, and Negative Emotions - A podcast by Todd Smith

Categories:

In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, you’ll hear a man questioning the thought, “I’m not safe.” His partner of 20 years recently left him and his dog was run over by a car and killed. The feeling for him is a lack of safety. Listen as he does his work. Timeline 0:00 — Intro 1:56 — Inquiry: “I’m Not Safe” 25:20 — Question: “My client is resiting The Work” 35:24 — Newsletter: “Interruptions Are Tests” 42:23 — Outro   Open Session Recording The dialogues and questions in the first half of this episode are taken from one of my weekly Open Sessions. You can also be a participant in Open Sessions each week to do The Work with me or ask your questions. This is an unedited recording so you can experience the natural process of exploration using The Work of Byron Katie. Next, there is a question about how to handle a client who is resistant to doing The Work. Newsletter Article In the second half of the recording, you’ll hear me reading the newsletter article, Interruptions Are Tests. Are interruptions stressful for you? Listen as I add and share ideas not included in the original article. I also encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter to get new articles like this one each week.  Bonus Videos If you prefer video, you can watch the following sections of the podcast in HD video.
