Random thought. Feeling my emotions and sitting in my own

Random thought. Feeling my emotions and sitting in my own body and feeling safe in it, has been one of the hardest parts of my healing journey. I am just NOW learning how important it is. How little I understand about what I am feeling. The type of emotions, etc. How many years of repressed emotions I need to feel to heal. What are some ways you have learned to do this? What works for you? Please explain it to me as detailed as you are comfortable. Or friend me, to message me about it personally. Im seeking authentic answers please. I am struggling with it. Please Explain your examples to me as though i have never heard of the idea before. Please. Thank you for the support.

Hmm. I posted this and not one reply? Aw ok then.

I like this idea of “Feel to Heal” when you mentioned repressed emotions. Or, there’s the phrase, “the only way out is through”. It’s incredibly daunting to even just consider what it might be like to sit with it all. Sobriety demands it of us, to not reach for the drug or drink and instead face what we feel. What usually helps me is talking to someone who I trust who is also in recovery. Or sometimes journaling helps too, so you can work out what you’re feeling on paper.
