You did such a great job explaining your healing journey in this article. I spent years running from my feelings too. The paradox is feelings arise to teach us something if we will just accept and allow them. Otherwise we spend our life running from what we can never outrun. But you don’t know this until you know. I have also learned the more I can bring radical acceptance and kindness to uncomfortable feelings, the faster they move through me and do what they need to do.
