The Importance of Disidentifying From Thoughts

I think sometimes we just need like a holding space or we need permission to walk to the edge where we can face our fears and actually look and disprove the avoidance complex, but that requires facing fear. I wouldn't prescribe awakening for somebody who's got a bunch of trauma and just psychological suffering and they're not interested in it. But some degree of disidentifying from thoughts can be really helpful with this because you realize, okay, I'm not facing an actual demon. There's not a thing called a demon that's going to come."
