Communicating your feelings or emotions is not the same as expressing or experiencing them.
Expressing an emotional feeling actually strengthens it.
express love and you strengthen it
express a negative emotion and you also strengthen it.
Expressing or experiencing an emotion is not the same as releasing it.
feeling the pain of a damaged finger is not curing it - why should it be different for an emotional feeling.
Feelings are energy based.
Pure feelings: Not filtered through the personal belief system eg. tired, alert, happy.
Emotions: Feelings filtered through belief system eg. because you believe you should not be rejected, you become unhappy. Example of emotions; fear, anxiety, anger, sadness and loneliness.
Communicating about emotional energy enables them to be processed rather than pushed down to ‘fester’ or strengthening them by expressing them.
