On Developing a Practice of Pausing

To reconnect with ourselves (the sensations in our bodies), so we can understand what we might need at that moment, means we need to pause.  But pausing feels very scary to our bodies. This episode not only looks at why pausing feels so bad to us but also how we can start to develop a practice of pausing in the times when we feel "safe- enough" so that when we actually do need to pause in our challenging moments, we can access that skill a little more than before.

In the episode:
1. New (even if it's a good thing) is still different and uncomfortable
2. Pausing as dangerous
3. Pausing in conflict
