Engaging with difficult emotions can lead to profound healing and growth from "summary" of The Power of Focusing by Ann Weiser Cornell
When we allow ourselves to fully engage with our difficult emotions, we open up the potential for profound healing and growth. It is a powerful process that can lead to significant transformation within ourselves. Instead of avoiding or suppressing these challenging feelings, we can actually learn to be present with them and explore what they have to teach us.
By facing our difficult emotions head-on, we are able to gain valuable insights into our inner world. These emotions often carry important messages or clues about our underlying needs, desires, and fears. When we take the time to listen to what they are trying to tell us, we can begin to address the root causes of our pain and suffering.
Engaging with difficult emotions requires courage and compassion towards ourselves. It is not an easy process, as it may bring up intense feelings of discomfort, vulnerability, or even resistance. However, by approaching these emotions with an attitude of acceptance and curiosity, we can create a safe space for them to unfold and be acknowledged.
As we deepen our relationship with our difficult emotions, we may start to notice a shift in our internal landscape. We may experience a sense of release, relief, or even a newfound sense of clarity and peace. This process of inner exploration can pave the way for profound healing to take place within us.
Through this journey of self-discovery and self-compassion, we can cultivate a greater sense of wholeness and authenticity. We can learn to embrace all parts of ourselves, including the parts that we may have previously rejected or ignored. This integration of our difficult emotions can lead to a deeper sense of connection with ourselves and others, as well as a greater capacity for growth and personal transformation.
