Thank you, Jennifer! I see you as my mentor even though you do not know me. These magic phrases work really well. And I appreciate you saying: "If you need to fall apart. Fall apart." Oftentimes it is not the feeling itself, but the restriction to not feel it or the anger with myself after the feeling, that makes me miserable. Sending warmth to you and your beloved ones!

Thank you for writing, Lina. I'm so glad you've found this video helpful, and I really appreciate your well-wishes. Yes, it takes a lot of energy to suppress emotions, and we make things worse when we layer judgment on top of already-challenging feelings. We are made to have feelings because we're made to have them, so let's have them. :) AND... we don't need to stay there longer than necessary. All my best to you!
