Ep 10 - urges
Episode description
You know there aren't any great idioms or quotes to be had about urges, which makes writing a podcast description challenging. This episode, I process some some self-destructive urges via a bit of self-inquiry. I ask the urges what they're trying to do for me, I sit with some shame that comes up, use the urge-surfing skill, and finish it up by going over a TIP skill to get rid of the nervous energy that's left in my body.
