Karla McLaren, empath, author of Emotional Genius shares the thought that emotions are always true (about something), but they’re not always right.
She suggests that we should embrace our emotions rather than try to subdue them. Naturally, this needs to take some consciousness, but it's a great concept that emotions can be a great thing.
Too often, dealing with the challenges of ups and downs that come with being bipolar, it is tempting to subdue my emotions rather than to listen to what they are saying.
I believe that strong emotions can be a great blessing.
