You Have to Kiss the Toad

A man talks about his trauma and how he finds peace within himself. He wonders how to let go of the story behind his pain. Rupert suggests turning off the narrative and facing the experience head-on, instead of trying to fix or change it. He mentions that in the Kashmir Tantric tradition, you befriend the raw intensity of trauma and devour it. You have to kiss the toad.
