Hi Sunny. You gave such a good example of how we can have different, opposing feelings going on at the same time- being mad and feeling terrified of being rejected, wanting to storm out, but sitting there sobbing and wishing so hard to be understood and held in mind better. I certainly have all of those a lot of the time, too. They are very uncomfortable to have at the same time! I do find that when I look in my therapist's eyes and realize that he is holding me wholeheartedly in his mind, the pain eases a lot, aqnd I become much more comfortable with the full range of my feelings.
