Emotional Healing…

For many years I avoided, numbed, and negated feelings. When I decided to stop running and was willing to disassemble the mental firewall I had erected to keep myself safe; I had to learn the art of identifying feelings. I discovered emotional wheels and used them to find a word or label for thoughts, sensations or movements that come up in the body and the mind. Acknowledging, understanding and processing what’s happening within, is an integral part of the healing process.

Over time, I came to realize that I didn’t need to carry around an emotion wheel with unlimited options to identify my feelings and emotions. I realized that three simple questions allowed the processing of any emotion to occur.
