The alcoholics/narcs in our lives tend to invalidate us at every point, also as codies we often believe our feelings aren't valid anyway. Only other peoples are!

I had to learn how to feel again. That it is ok to feel and it is valid. I don't have to act on all my feelings but they are valid. They move through me as I feel them if I let them. They release.

I think we are often hit by a huge backlog of buried emotions/trauma, ones we have not been allowed to feel in the past.

With me it was like being run over by a truck. It has eased now.
