Do you sometimes feel this way?

Sharing our emotions can be like jumping out of an airplane.  It is risky.  The fear of exposing deep emotions...letting people know we are scared, ashamed, afraid of rejection, feeling like a failure, hurting...can be overwhelming.  We don't always know how others will react.  Will they think less of us?  Will they listen?  Will they reassure?  What if they don't?

Just as we can learn how to safely jump out of an airplane, couples, families, and individuals can learn how to safely share emotions.  With practice we can do it with grace.  With experience we gain confidence that the risk is worth the reward.

This video is of Dale Stuart, who is now an EFT therapist.


Pretty amazing!
