 Accepting your feelings
Hi everyone!
I'm just curious to know what any of you think the phrase 'accepting your feelings' actually means. It's used a lot in self-help books, and it sounds lovely, but what does it actually entail? I suffer from chronic anxiety, and it is often said that the first thing to do to address such a problem (and other similar problems such as depression) is to accept/own your feelings, no matter what they are...
Is this just vague New-Age blather, or is there a practical and helpful side to this? Any advice/experiences most appreciated!
With love.
