Many people find themselves in situations where they must do something even if it seems they can’t fully engage with their emotions. For instance, my life has undergone significant changes recently: I moved, rehomed one of my dogs, lost my grandmother, and experienced shifts in my work position. In many of these instances, I didn’t have a choice; the decisions were necessary. Consequently, I never critically examined how these changes affected me or acknowledged the overwhelmed I felt. The only reason I was aware I was overwhelmed was becasue my therapist pointed it out.  My therapist and I have been discussing my relationship with emotions, and I wonder if others utilize different strategies to help consider their feelings before it becomes too much to handle.. lmk what you think
