Things end. This is the truth. Good things. Bad things. Things we didn’t see coming. And those we did. Beautiful moments. Painful moments. So… We move on. We close up. We finish. We complete.

Emotional Processing So what does it mean to process your emotions? Or “emotional processing?” This is said A LOT. I think it’s a term that most of us don’t really understand but we know it would be a good thing intuitively. Like exercise, omega three, flossing, more water…(note to self to do all those things). In short, emotional processing is … Read More
