How To Master Your Emotions - Dr Julie

when emotions hit you it's like ink

pouring into water

it quickly gets more and more intense

until you can't really see anything else

clearly everything in your life is

suddenly tainted with that feeling you

don't want to have you can't escape from

it you just want it to go away

people come to therapy thinking that

someone is going to teach them how to

escape from it but in fact what you

learn is how to allow it to be there

welcome it even to pay attention to it

and see it for what it is

the ink is not the water and the emotion

is not you it's an experience a

sensation moving through you and when

you allow emotion to be there without

trying to block it out or make it go

away

then you allow it to take its natural

course so over time

the emotion passes and you're ready for

whatever comes next i'm a psychologist
