How To Feel – Allowing Yourself To Feel Your Feelings Fully

How To Feel – Allowing Yourself To Feel Your Feelings Fully

There are many reasons we don't want to feel a feeling, but it usually leads back to guilt and fear. Thinking something is wrong with what we feel can cause so many problems in our lives. An unfelt, unresolved feeling, especially one we judge to be pathological can wreak havoc on our emotions, relationships, and identity.

The stories about the feelings and what happened – blaming ourselves and blaming others – that fill our head, have us run away from feelings. This is why it takes so long to heal. We think a feeling is unbearable, yet we are willing to endure years of self-torture with stories of blame, fear, and guilt cluttering our minds.
