Have you ever had a thought that made your stomach drop, only to realise later that you were panicking over nothing? Perhaps you sent an email to your boss, didn't receive a reply for an hour, and immediately thought, "They are going to fire me"

Have you ever found yourself apologising for things you didn’t do, losing sleep over a colleague’s bad mood, or taking on the emotional heavy lifting in your relationships?

When we experience painful, challenging or unexpected events, our natural instinct is often to fight the reality of the situation. Often our initial response is to try to change it or remove the pain.
