feeling feelings
People report that they find it beneficial when a therapist tells them to stop and go inside and feel their feelings. And sometimes they are asked to be curious, about whether it’s familiar, and what it reminds them of, and to see what about them and their past it has to do with. Something shifts.
It’s that thing about getting out of your head and being present with what’s in the body. Strange how that can result is a shift, but it does.
People like this.
Some people don’t know what this means, this feeling your feelings thing. Think of it as sensations, that’s all.

Like everyone, I have different sides. Counselor, photographer, writer, cooker of food – both spicy and plain, and seeker of truth and happiness. I have always taken an interest in the unassuming things that pass us by – both heard and seen, both ordinary and not so ordinary. They are all sacred and beautiful in some way.
