yes. it is a valid response for the pain and confusion you must have felt. we didn't learn in childhood that we could feel whatever came (it's not anyone's fault, they also didn't know), they punished us or distracted us, or told us somehow that our feelings were wrong. so when someone tells us we can say what we are feeling and the person can't embrace it all at the time we feel again like we are doing something wrong just for feeling. but you were not and you are not. if you feel like, start observing what feelings you don't allow yourself to feel, you answered me yesterday about feelings and related that to our body, and that's how I embrace my feelings, observing my body. I think the more we allow ourselves to feel, more open we are to share that with people when we feel like doing.

good morning!
