How do you feel about your feelings?

Feelings play huge roles in our every day life. But have you ever wondered what are they and why we have feelings? In therapy we often talk about them: anxiety, fear, guilt, sadness, anger are the usual subjects for exploration. Feelings can be overwhelming and bothersome. My article on Counselling Directory attempts to shed some light on what feelings are and why we have them. My hope is that we can learn to live with our feelings and look at them as our partners rather than some sort of hinderance.
