How can getting in touch with so-called bad feelings be good? Shouldn I reject them?
You might only want to get in touch with an emotion or memory that hurt if it is constricting your life in some way. Like an emotion that keeps grabbing your attention, or an emotion that is causing you to avoid others, situations, taking care of your health, going within, and allowing your emotions to naturally integrate. Emotional avoidance can lead to addictions, panic attacks, depression, poor immunity, and higher stress. Folks let sleeping dogs alone for years in the form of PTSD and suffer the highly stressful consequences.
