Whether you numb out because you hate your life or just to cope, the remedy is to look at all the troubles you don’t want to, walk through the struggle and feel it, and keep moving forward

Emotional pain can be like physical pain, warning us that something is wrong. Communicating what’s important, getting our attention, and letting us know whether or not we should change something in our lives.

The first tool

name the feelings out loud when they come up

The second tool

why would anyone want to be around me if I’m this damaged.”

But the truth is that the only way to let feelings go is to let them in, feel them, and let them go. Your feelings are messengers, and they want to be heard, honored, and let go.

The third tool

is to understand that your experience may be confusing

The fourth tool is to accept that your feelings are deserving of existence in the first place
