In my therapy practice, my clients and I often discover that certain emotions have been ignored, “stuffed,” or labeled as “bad” and exiled from awareness. After a discussion on the benefit of experiencing and learning from our emotions, I invite clients to take a curious and non-judgmental stance towards a “bad” emotion of their choice. In essence, we agree to “invite in” the emotion that has previously been ignored with a simple goal to learn from it, see what purpose it is serving, and honor it.
