‘Emotional processing.

‘If I was sad, I’d let myself be sad for a tiny bit, and then brush it off… Saying “I don’t have time for this”, or ” I’m stronger than this”, or “crying does no good”

‘Then anger and frustration would build up until arguments over nothing would happen.

‘I was shown how to “make space” for those “negative” emotions, and just feel them until they quieted on their own.

‘Been doing that every time they show up, and the anger and frustration is gone. Most of the anxiety is gone too.

‘Did it with fears too, which is making a huge difference in relationships.

‘It’s a good thing too; old me wouldn’t be able to handle half the shit that current me is shouldering.’

‘Pinching the edge of a record to get it out of the sleeve. That’s how you get noise on the beginning of every record.
