Create space for your feelings

The best way out is through.

We live in a culture that does not always approve of strong emotions, especially the expression of unpleasant or negative emotions. Our society often tells us that when we experience serious loss and hurt, we should keep our pain, anger, and sadness to ourselves. Many therapists believe that this cultural expectation is at the root of addiction, mental illness, and physical health problems. So, we need to express our feelings instead of suppressing them. Doing so can be an act of deep kindness, tenderness, and self-care.
