And that's sort of our operating system for the world.

We see patterns, um,

feel what they had to repress right feel the the pain feel the rage feel the fear like feel it like literally in their body like liberate all those emotions that we hold on to that are stuck there and creating the cognitive distortions and so it's for me presence is an embodied experience it's the willingness to um feel everything

inside of us like life happens and we have feelings and there's a certain tendency to want to control those feelings or manage those feelings and and i think that there's a wisdom in that but if you do that from a state of uh repression or fear it doesn't work

And so in the place where I'm not present, let's say with my wife, it's because there's something inside me that I don't want to face or feel. That's it. So that's the frame that I put on it. And the question I ask is, well, what is it that you're unwilling to feel? Because it means that there's something in the present moment that scares you. Now, it might be irrational.

It might not make sense to your conscious mind because you're a grown man, but it might be the fear of the child that's coming up in that moment. And so I work with presence through people's emotions, through people's feelings, and all the distortions that get created. Does that make sense, what I'm saying?

Really the work, because feeling feelings that scare us, we're forced to be vulnerable. What does vulnerable mean? To me, it just means openness and truth, right?
