Have you ever been listening to someone spew out their feelings and you immediately want to "fix" it? Have you felt the need to tell them everything is going to be okay and to look at the positives? Now imagine what it would feel like to simply sit with them in their feelings. To simply let them experience the depth of their emotions. On today's show we have an episode from The Glass House where Ben and Lynley are joined with Jennie Allen. The three of them discuss how to untangle the tension of sitting with others in their emotions, and also the tension in experiencing your own emotions.
