How to Sit with Difficult Emotions Without Getting Overwhelmed with Dr. Kate Truitt

What if being kind to yourself is the most powerful thing you can do right now?

Painful emotions can feel overwhelming, especially when we’re taught to push them aside or think our way through them. But our emotional brain and nervous system need something different.

In this video, Dr. Kate Truitt shares a gentle, neuroscience-backed practice for emotional regulation and self-soothing. You’ll learn how to calm your stress response, engage your vagus nerve, and offer self-compassion during moments of anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional pain.

This is a trauma-informed approach to healing that helps you reconnect with your body, build emotional resilience, and create space for inner safety.
