🔎The phrase "sit with it" in therapy refers to the process of allowing yourself to fully experience and tolerate difficult emotions, thoughts, or sensations, rather than avoiding, suppressing, or escaping them.
🧘♀️Tips for Sitting With Emotions:
Use mindfulness or grounding techniques (e.g., breath awareness, body scan).
Journal what you’re feeling.
Set a timer to "sit with it" for 5–10 minutes at first.
Remind yourself: “This is uncomfortable, but not dangerous.”
