🌧 RAIN: A Gentle Practice for Big Feelings 🌧

When emotions feel overwhelming, the RAIN practice can offer a path through, rather than around, the storm. Developed in mindfulness traditions, RAIN is a simple yet powerful tool for turning toward your experience with curiosity and care.

✨ R – Recognize
Pause and name what you're feeling. Sadness? Anger? Shame? Anxiety? You don’t need to fix it — just see it. Naming the emotion helps loosen its grip.

✨ A – Allow
Let it be there. This doesn’t mean you like it or want it to stay — just that you're not fighting it. Emotions, like waves, pass more easily when we stop resisting.

✨ I – Investigate
With kindness, explore where the feeling lives in your body. Is there tightness? Heat? Numbness? Ask: What is this emotion asking for? What might it need right now?

✨ N – Nurture (or Non-identification)
Offer yourself compassion. You are not your emotion. This is a passing experience, not a permanent truth. You can say, “This is hard, and I’m doing the best I can.”

RAIN isn’t about fixing feelings — it’s about befriending them.
A moment of pause. A breath of space. A practice in being human.

We are often guilty of showing more respect to strangers in public than we show to our loved ones in private. We sometimes show more courtesy to the server taking our order in a restaurant than we give to the one that we vowed we would love, honor, and cherish 'til death do us part. This should not be. Honor and respect should be cultivated in your marriage first and foremost. Honor and respect will ascribe value to your spouse without stumbling over who they are not. When you honor someone, it says more about you than the person being honored. In the same vein if you dishonor and disrespect someone it reveals the content of your character, not theirs. - Danny Delgado

ℹ️🌿 UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF TRAUMA ON RELATIONSHIPS |

While in many instances, our body returns to baseline after a dangerous event occurs, trauma stores the images, tastes, sounds, and feelings associated with the danger in our neural networks.

Though time may have passed since our trauma, or we are with a partner and in an environment that is safe, the blueprint of trauma remains primed in our nervous system, and can be activated by a word, emotion, or behavior that is associated with the trauma. Therefore, it is because trauma is rooted in physiological systems that are outside our conscious control that we feel our past within our present, even if the context is entirely different.

Most who have survived trauma report that they logically know they are safe, their partner is safe, and their environment is safe in the present. However, our emotional brains that are deeply intertwined with the physiological systems mentioned above have a harder time making that connection.
