Hello, and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Cory and mascara.

Before going into today's episode, I just want to let you know that because I did not do a live masterclass this week,

I decided to make a previous masterclass, my most popular one,

working with thoughts, especially the difficult ones, available for 50% off.

If you are interested, this offer is available through the weekend, March 6th, I believe, at midnight.

So if you'd like to get that masterclass, it's a 90 minute deep dive into all the different strategies and practices,

mindset shifts, tools to work with the thinking mind, especially the sticky, painful,

cognitive thought patterns that often create a lot of suffering.

It also includes lots of follow-up resources, book recommendations, meditations, and practices to go along with it.

So again, that's 50% off for the next few days.

You can find the link in my bio or just go straight to CoryMaskara.com forward slash thoughts.

In today's episode, I'm going to talk about why you don't need to open up the floodgates.

More to come on that in a moment.

First, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells.

Okay.

So one thing I tend to notice for folks on their healing and growth journey is we can go in with an

overly zealous attitude toward our healing.

It sort of has this feeling of, show me everything.

Show me all the pain that's there beneath the surface.

Like, give it to me now.

I want to have an experience.
