What my wife does, and she is the best at this of anyone I know, is to go into the living room and put a particular CD on which has always made her feel sad. Then, she lies down on the couch and cries and cries and cries. The beauty of an intentional meltdown such as she engineers is that she can pick the time and place. Not only that, the tears are very much therapeutic. She feels better for havng cried. Sometimes, she is not even sure where the tears are welling up from! Still, the crying of them offers relief. This isn't a means of dealing with the issues which are behind the emotions. It is, though, a great way to feel more prepared to deal with the issues. By some of the intensity having been drained--literally, drained--you can face the issues with a greater sense of clarity. Syl, I heartily encourage you to let some of that ocean of emotion out.

This isn’t a means of dealing with the issues which are behind the emotions. It is, though, a great way to feel more prepared to deal with the issues. By some of the intensity having been drained–literally, drained–you can face the issues with a greater sense of clarity.

It might be helpful. If you have a moment and want to respond to a meme, I tagged you on my blog. It's at the end of the post for Monday (but it's up now if you see this.) Hugs.

Just to be present with it. More will come I'm sure when you're ready to deal with it. It sounds like you're opening something fragile and deep and special. In time I'm sure you'll know all what it means. Thank you for sharing this, O Sylvain,
