Love these empowering insights! Let's break them down:
- Avoiding distress costs progress - lean into it to build emotional muscles
- Takes immense courage yet pays exponential dividends
- Discomfort reliably peaks then passes if we ride it out
- Our window of tolerance expands each time
- Fear and joy cannot occupy same space - tuning into gratitude, purpose evicts anxiety
- PTSD Coach is fantastic for talk-downs when rumination recurs
- Naming alarmist thoughts, calming physiology, centering in the now
