Accepting the emotion you’re feeling gives the power back to you.
To avoid is to amplify, and to acknowledge is to release.

My favourite therapist says the way to the other side is through some muck unfortunately (I’m paraphrasing of course). The family of origin stuff can loom pretty large because we’re too young to be able to understand or process our feelings. Sorting through this stuff is gruelling work, but the rewards are huge, in my experience. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
