Our feelings are valid because we feel them. They have a right to exist, but that doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want as a result of it, without your behavior impacting your relationships.

Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT writes

Ultimately, we all want to experience and share the good stuff more than the toxic stuff that course through our days, but it can take a while to develop the habit. It’s not as much about practicing as it is about how you come across and what it feels like when you say what’s truly going on inside your head.

When you open your mouth, you are also opening your heart, and knowing that someone truly hears what you are feeling and understands you is soothing to your soul.
