You can’t have the rainbow without the rain
Something I realized during my therapy session today. It feels obvious, but you can’t push away the negative feelings without unintentially pushing away the good ones. Not letting yourself feel the sorrow and pain also means you don’t feel the joy and happiness.
We are sensory beings and we need to feel everything, otherwise we aren’t feeling anything.
My homework from my therapist this week is to be present with my emotions and to not push them away but to say “it’s okay to feel this” and to be in the moment and let myself feel rather than try to bury it.
Wish me luck!
