Dear Seeking Sister,
Recent bible study has led me to think about emotions. I have a tendency to suppress feelings, especially strong ones. I know it is unhealthy, but it is my first reaction when I feel something volatile stirring inside me. My education taught me that the main reason I suppress relates back to the neglect I suffered as a child.
Identifying why we suppress emotions
excuse us for doing so. It is immature and unhealthy. If we are to grow in Christ and mature along our walk we need to deal with our emotions in a healthy way. The following phrase from a movie I recently watched struck a chord with me.
