If Guilt Helps Motivate Me, Why Would I Want To Let It Go? + If Negative Emotions Are Bad, Why Would We Have Them? + Reconnecting With My Father Is Going To Make Me Feel Like I Did In The Past
This episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast brings two interesting questions about The Work of Byron Katie: what to expect if you keep doing The Work over a long period of time, and what exactly is the difference between a want and a need (which we often identify as stressful thoughts to question).
You can also listen to this podcast wherever you get your podcasts. If you’re new to podcasts, here’s a review article by PCMagazine on the best podcast apps to use. If you find one that Wiggle Room is not on, let me know and I’ll be happy to add it there too. Here are a few of the most popular podcast apps.

Open Session Recording
Listen to the Open Session recording as we discuss the whether holding onto a stressful thought is helpful or not, and whether negative emotions are actually bad or not. You’ll also hear a participant do The Work on his fear of reconnecting with his estranged father after a recent heart attack. You too can be a participant in Open Sessions each week to do The Work with me, ask your questions, or join in our discussions.
