What you resist persists. It's one of those lines that's easy to nod at and genuinely hard to live. In this episode, Tam Callaghan gets into why avoiding painful emotions doesn't make them go away, and what it actually looks like to stop fighting what's there.
Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, her own experience with 4 a.m. fear spirals before training sessions, the work of Eckhart Tolle, and Rumi's Guesthouse poem, Tam walks through what shifted for her and how you can start applying the same ideas without having to overhaul your whole inner world overnight.
She also shares the practical resources that have made the biggest difference, including Stephen Bodian's Welcoming Emotions meditation and a free month with the Waking Up app.
Honest, personal, and genuinely useful.
