Chapter 2: Our inherent human desire is for things to be fixed and predictable, but when we encounter changes that we don’t have control over – a relationship ending, a job loss, a pandemic – we experience great suffering.Instead of letting our fear or worry cause us to contract and turn to old habit patterns of self-soothing, let negative emotions serve as an invitation to gain greater self-awareness.
