So so true!!!! However, let’s not twist it. Repair is powerful, but it’s not a hall pass to explode regularly or ignore the impact of our tone. Fewer ruptures matter just as much as good repairs.

Working in mental health, I often have the conversation about feelings and emotions. One common thought I run into is, “I am not emotional or I don’t let emotions rule my behavior”. Funny thing is, I have never found this to be true. When they say this, they often mean they don’t let “being sad” determine their actions or they don’t “get sad”.

Emotions aren’t just “being sad”. You can also let your anger, happiness, disgust, anxiety, etc guide your actions and behaviors. Often, people allow anger to rule their behavior because sadness is less acceptable. Being “emotional” is not just being sad or upset and there is nothing wrong with being sad or upset. Our emotions are signals from our brain to take action in some way so that we can survive. All emotions are valid and people are rarely “emotionless”.

Healing trauma allows our bodies and minds rest, which makes it easier to experience joy without “waiting for the other shoe to drop”.
