No Feelings Are Bad: The Truth About Your Emotions

How often do you say things like “I feel good” or “ah, I really hate feeling this way” or even “I know I shouldn’t be feeling this..?” Too often is my guess. I used to think that there were good feelings and bad feelings. Growing up, whenever I felt sad, angry, frustrated, etc. my parents would step away and leave me to be by myself, telling me that “when I was feeling better, I could join them again.”

So let’s start debunking those misconceptions a bit and uncover the truth about your emotions, shall we?
