living and learning and unlearning

After years of being taught that the way to deal with painful emotions is to get rid of them, it can take a lot of reschooling to learn to sit with them instead. –Barbara Brown Taylor

Hi, I found the best way was to deal with them and get rid of them, I do not want to sit around and muddle over them, causing me further pain. I got rid of mine, it took a few years, and now I lead a happy and mentally healthy life.....Sending Hugs n Love.....Sprinkle 1.....

I think sometimes it's best to let those horrible memories go. Try and think of the good times

I’m glad no one made me sit with them before I was ready. I’m glad I chose to do so when I was. Dark places have a lot to teach about ourselves. And how to truly be free to feel all things on the inside when we have learned about what is there. May your path forward be peace.
