I have already spoken about how it is never healthy to bury our feelings. Catharsis is the choice of the self-creating person. It guarantees that basic, valuable work is done at the level at which wounding originated.
What do I mean by this?
Whenever something hurts our feelings, it causes an emotional reaction. This emotional reaction occurs spontaneously. It is an autogenic body response and; therefore, something over which we have little control.
The Emotional Fitness (TM) Series has been something I have found to be essential reading for me. This is another part to add to the series. You will find the rest of this post by following back the reblog and also you will find the first parts to this series at "ontheplumtree" by clicking on the blog name and going through the titles you find on the home page. They are titled: 1st: Do You Cry? 2nd: Thinking Versus Feeling! For "Do You Cry?" you will need to go into older posts at the bottom left of post titles. Just click on older posts and you will find it. These are all wrtten by Dr. Niamh Clune, the author of several books. You will find their titles on the right hand column of my blog posts by scrolling down the page. You will also find music that Dr. Clune has created. Reading this post will draw your attention to the importance of discovering your Core Issues that trigger an emotional reaction in you. I am way over simplifying it. This is made clearer by reading this post from the source. It is important to read and much can be learned that will help you in your life. J.K. the secret keeper
Niamh is so insightful on many levels. Definitely worth reading.
Oh, yes, her series on Emotional Fitness (TM) is so enlightening. It is helping me put things together in my thinking and feeling. Reading “The Coming of the Feminine Christ” at the same time works with the understanding them both more clearly. She is a genius and inspires me continually with the depth of her thoughts and feelings. Amazes me all the time. J.K.
