Thanks, JW, I’m happy you found value in our work!

Learning to allow emotions to “just be”, without desperately trying to change them has been a massive help for me. 🙂

Thank you. I particularly loved this excerpt: “…while I do still think it’s important not to drown in negativity, I’ve also come to realize that even my sadness is a message to me about what I value. …. Emotions are neither good nor bad, but rather cues to you about what actions you need to take to be aligned with the best version of yourself.”

As part of realizing that I have some significant unresolved trauma – with part of it resulting in me now learning how to relate to my own emotions, regulate my nervous system, etc., – this is a really helpful reminder of how to relate to and think about uncomfortable feelings, rather than fighting them, ignoring or escaping them, or, as I learned to do in early life, letting them take over and call the shots.
