#110 | Beyond the Surface: The Meditative Depth of Question 2 in The Work of Byron Katie for the Highly Sensitive Person

Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People (HSP): Inner Work and Strategies for Coping with Stress, Overwhelm, and Negative Emotions - A podcast by Todd Smith

Categories:

In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, a participant starts doing The Work but realizes she is taking the easy way out of question 2, “Can You Absolutely Know It’s True?” so she stops to ask about it. Another participant then asks about a situation that was not stressful at all. Unexpectedly, she suddenly felt a rush of anxiety in that situation and wanted to know how to find the stressful thought to question.   You can also listen to this podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
