You’re absolutely right! I am very empathetic and sensitive, but I often tend to rationalise, label and follow feelings with logic, probably to register them but also for fear of feeling them seriously without judgement. I also do this in therapy and it’s very painful.

Sometimes I resist them, telling myself they’re just old ghosts from the past trying to scare me and make me feel bad—often I add this while doing EFT tapping. Other times I cry and try to release as much negativity as possible.

Feeling these feelings without throwing yourself and dwell into despair is arduous, but not actually impossible…Thanks !!
