Quotes to ponder:
"Many of us have a phobia of our feelings, a fear of fully feeling our emotions."
"When we resist what we feel, our emotions intensify, linger, or show up in other ways, such as anxiety, irritability, or physical pain."
"By allowing ourselves to feel, we open the door to healing, clarity, and peace."
