Quick thought! I am a therapist that works with women. I have learned that women, especially people of color, do not have a very good emotional vocabulary. We can share our thoughts and our opinions, but we don’t really know “feeling words”. We were not taught to consider or to explore our feelings because it meant vulnerability or weakness. There’s no time for that! I want to give you the permission to feel your feelings. There’s time for your feelings. Your feelings matter. Unravel for a moment if that’s what you need. Feelings are not just vulnerability it’s part of humanity. Feel your feelings. If nobody gives you permission, I want you to know that I do.
