Thinking Thursday’s are about critically thinking, breaking out of boxes, and discussing new ways we could live this life together.
As we grew up, our feelings and emotions were often suppressed by authority figures and parents. So many of us don't know healthy boundaries in dealing with our, and other's emotions.
"While we work through our feelings, we do not have to expend unnecessary energy reacting to each feeling we or others have." - Melody Beattie
