Sometimes the path to feeling better passes through rough spots that feel terrible. Ducking, dodging, denying or averting your attention can provide a temporary reprieve but, just like taking cough medicine for symptomatic relief, it doesn’t actually get rid of the underlying issue. Lasting relief only comes when feelings are fully felt and accepted. Experiencing emotions in the light of your conscious awareness allows them to arise and pass away, leaving you free of their burden…

And wiser.
