What I know is that as human beings, it’s extremely difficult to think objectively when strong emotions, including overwhelm, are at play. It also takes a lot of energy and commitment to dig in and do the work necessary to process emotions. But, afterwards, we typically feel great. It’s like the amazing feeling and flush of energy you experience from a workout after forcing yourself to the gym. It’s an accomplishment and you feel productive for what’s next in the day, right?
