“I don’t even know how I feel today…” I sighed in frustration during one of my therapy appointments. “I honestly feel it ALL.”

My therapist smirked at me, “Caitlyn, healing isn’t linear. You can feel many emotions at once — trust me, it’s human.”

Woah, what?

Anyone else hear that before? Her statement was actually quite comforting, but, ugh - also perplexing. Why isn’t the human experience more straightforward?

I mean, is it true that our sweet delicate souls are actually wired with beautiful complexity? Is it true I can hold an array of emotions all at once? Oh, it’s true. And it might be safe to say that our featured guest, Allie Karagozian agrees.
