I continue to work on the first one. At the beginning of my healing journey, my therapist said (and I’m paraphrasing here) “You want life to be sunny and sunnier, but this leaves you with a broken compass. You need all of your emotions, even the ‘bad’ ones, because your feelings provide valuable information that you need to make healthy decisions.” I still don’t like anger and negativity, but I realize these feelings have a place and need to be addressed. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
