It's Free -Fake- Therapy Week! Disclaimer: This is NOT real therapy, and I am NOT a real therapist. This is just a GOOD excuse to watch GOOD movies.
It's been a fun week, thanks to everyone who came!
Today we are going to visit "Dr. Tess Coleman." Or at least her daughter... Spoiler alert!
So, I have a question for you. How do you feel about that? That as in whatever you are going through.
Sometimes people quarantine their feelings, suppressing them from others and themselves. Maybe because it is easier to just disregard your feelings than to deal with the pain you are experiencing? I don't know.
What I do know is that how we feel definitely matters. We may not be able to do something, we may not be able to act, maybe we even shouldn't. We may need to work through how we feel. Every situation is different. But how we feel definitely matters. It will affect your actions and your abilities.
That's one reason why we are constantly told by therapists, church leaders and even memes to try and find joy despite the trials.
So... How do you feel about that?
I think a balance is important. Dealing with the pain and problems we have now, but also remembering other joys and the eternal perspective. It can be hard to find the balance, especially for advice-givers who aren't the ones experiencing it.
