About this listen

This episode illustrates the real-life benefit to us learning how to bear intense emotion - in part, because it ensures other people don't end up responsible for our feelings. In this episode, I talk about the painful moment that happened recently when my daughter started to pull away from me on her journey to greater autonomy. I highlight how I could so easily make my daughter responsible for my feelings instead of feeling them myself and how a moment of surprising gratitude came over me because I have learned how to bear my feelings myself.
