When children are learning to walk they fall down and sometimes hurt themselves. Parents quickly offer comfort by distracting them or telling them that they’re alright. But that’s not always true. Sometimes falling down hurts. These well-meaning parents are unintentionally teaching their children that their real feelings aren’t valid. They teaching them not to cry because it makes others feel uncomfortable. Most of us have been taught to pretend we’re ok by stuffing our true feelings. Fortunately, it’s never too late to turn this around and start getting healthy by being real and authentically feeling…
Our feelings.
