Discovering the ability to talk about FEELINGS was a massive step in my life.



I was brought up emotionally illiterate. I guess/could be wrong as I am with many things/I guess most of us have been brought up that way.
I discovered about feelings when I was in my 30's yet I have been in possession of them all my life.

I remember doing a course and the trainer constantly interrupted me when I was talking. He was asking for feelings. I was talking about thinking THINKING.

That was a big step. To clock the interior me did not shuffle the two into separate awarenesses. I feel. I think. A bit like L5 communication. We need the full repertoire not just one - such as being able to social chit chat - to the other end of the spectrum.

It needs a group to be able to do that. To learn from each other. I think we cannot do it alone.

Are you aware of your feelings?
Are you able to share them?
Are you able to articulate them?

Maybe a developmental are eh?
