Much of the focus of the world of healing seems to centre around one thing: feeling better. There is nothing wrong with this goal; it's natural, but it is a trap that actually prevents the completion of our healing. By thinking that you have to feel better, you unconsciously send yourself the message that there's something wrong with feeling the way you feel. You've given yourself the message that you need to be fixed, which we now realise is a convert level of self-rejection. You reject the place you are if you think where you are needs to be changed. You reject the way you feel if you think the way you feel needs be changed. When you were young and feeling sad, you didn't want your parents to rescue you from the pain or try to make you feel better, as much as you want them to be completely and unconditionally with you while you felt how you felt. What I'm proposing is to switch your focus from feeling better to being willing to feel.
