I’m not shy about the fact that I went through a lot of therapy in the past year or so, nor do I think I should be shy about it. Therapy is great, I think everyone should go, and I’ve come out a stronger person with the tools I need to help me navigate some big life changes and life in general.
One big thing I’ve learned is that feelings and logic do not always exist on the same plane, and that you should always try to feel your feelings first and maybe understand them later. I used to think it was easier to pretend that the feelings weren’t there. I’ve learned that this is a form of self-neglect, so I allow myself to feel angry and sad, even if it’s not convenient. Even if I’m trying to run out the door in a fab Tory Burch set to meet my friends for a patio brunch at MercyMe.
I wholly appreciate that that people in my life not only put up with, but encourage me to feel my feelings. Before I left, I had a long talk with my mom about what was bothering me. Me from before would have held it in and stayed quietly sad and angry (so tempted to say “upset” but my therapist has also encouraged me to use specific language and “upset is for apple carts) all day rather than just letting it out. What it all boiled down to, for anyone feeling nosey, is that I’m entirely frustrated that my divorce isn’t final yet. That’s really all I can say, for now. And I’m entitled to those feelings. And YOU are entitled to your feelings.
I honestly have to say that the world has been brighter since I stopped trying to hide how I feel. I know it can be hard to face your feelings, but it feels so much better once you do! It’s not easier to run from them, because the running doesn’t really happen and the feelings are still there.
