Just like children, emotions heal when they are heard and validated.
I speak because I can, to anyone I trust enough to listen.
Instead, many of us internalize them, blow them off when we need to share them, even tell them to an inappropriate person. Our moods, outlook, day-to-day life, and relationships are affected by this. Some swear they will take these feelings and stories to their grave. Unfortunately, some do sooner than later.
People tell me their personal stories. I listen to them without judgment. In telling their stories, I use unique images. Sharing your personal and emotional stories can be safe.
