Wow, a grown woman admitting on camera that she feels envy, regret, and anger? Those feelings, Envy especially, were very bad, according to my mother. If I dared to admit feeling emvious, I was reprimanded gor even having tjose feelings. Crying or anger was met with contempt. Depression, was met with demial and annoyance. I learned how to supress my feelings so well, Itheyvleft my awareness. I developed a compulsive overeating disorder. Stuffing my feelings down with food. Which of vourse would be followed by disgust and shame. Compulsive eating was suppkented with Tv addiction, compulsive shopping, internet addiction, and now social media. I developed treatment resistant depression at 30, and early onset of physical ailments. Unable to work since 40. This is what can happen when parents invalidate their child's feelings or shame them for having those feelings in the first place. It can lead to a life time of low-self esteem, failed romantic and work relationships, complete loss of friends, and poverty.
Love Dr. Laurie Santos and her course she did awhilie back on the emotion of happiness and well being.
When i was taught that feeling are information, it was eye opening
