I was raised in a family where so many emotions were not allowed....at least for me to have...the abusers had plenty of rage and other stuff. That's probably another reason why we are so afraid of those feelings. And it was certainly not acceptable for me to cry or express feeling unhappy. But, now is the time to redo all that...try to experience those feelings without shame which is a tall order, but I know it can be done in time with God's healing hand. Thank you for your blog. I get so much from it as well as can relate. ~CassandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-4911978186016525702010-12-23T20:42:29.866-05:002010-12-23T20:42:29.866-05:00Just dropping by to wish you Merry Christmas! :)Just dropping by to wish you Merry Christmas! :)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651509769892366794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-61056553394222393692010-12-23T19:05:40.949-05:002010-12-23T19:05:40.949-05:00Merry Christmas to you dear JBR.

Grass and sky without color. Skin and hands without a sense of touch. Everything would be black and white. Deadly dull and boring. We'd be little more than computers. Fortunately our society is acknowledging that we are much more than body and mind. We are spirit as well with a deep capacity to feel. Also, integrating our emotions with body and mind is essential for healthy and wholesome living. And those of us, men and women, who grew up in dysfunctional families don't know how to relate intimately because as children we weren't allowed to trust, feel or talk intimately. We never learned to communicate openly and honestly. To survive we had to deny our feelings. However, to live fully as adults, we need to get back in touch with our emotions and learn how to communicate them creatively. JBR there I go preaching again. Didn't mean to. I know you know this and I'm sure you do pray. I know you've been hurt as a child and had built walls around your heart to stop feeling the pain. Unfortunately, this cut off your good feelings as well. Asking God to help you feel again and lead you to the help you needed. He did. However, reading your posts I see getting through your walls is painful. But you have learned to feel again–and are much healthier physically, emotionally and spiritually I believe, right? Okay I typed long enough.
