When we hide, suppress, and deny our own emotions (or others’), we blind ourselves to what we most desire and risk collateral damage when those emotions escape on their own. This month, we’ll be giving ourselves permission to feel our own emotions so that we can be available to join others in their experience.

Maybe you’ve heard people say, “facts don’t care about your feelings.” Maybe you’ve even told yourself that. It’s true in that facts don’t care about anything: they simply are. The same is true of humans: we simply are. Part of our simply being a human, however, is having emotions. And one of the choices we make in each moment is whether or not to care about our own emotions or those of the people around us. This month and next, we’ll explore the emotional dimension of our humanity, especially the way we can find meaningful insights about facts and our relationship to them by attending to our feelings about them. We begin our adventure together with Marc Brackett’s book, Permission to Feel.
