In a situation like yours or in other ones where you do feel like you're out of control initially or there's just big feelings coming up, whether it's anxiety, sorrow, anger, I'm always confused as to how much we're meant to honour those feelings and lean into them versus go...

I'm not going there because that's going to make me feel worse.

Like the whole theory of whatever you resist persists versus I'm choosing to not torture myself by constantly feeling sad, angry, anxious, whatever it might be.

I love that visual.

I've totally experienced that.

I used to try and delete whole sections of my past.

Press delete.

Goodbye.

It doesn't exist anymore.

Gone.

To the point where I can't remember certain things.

My memory's fucked from it.

And actually, a lot of the therapy I've done has been...

looking at certain things properly and uncomfortably so, but I can now hold the folder like I'm holding it.

And it's so relieving to be in that place.

That's why I feel so lucky that I have access to therapy.

Getting onto that conversation, we'd need another week of, you know, the issue for people that can't get to therapy.

And how systemically that's just a massive issue.

We all know that.

But I think if anyone out there can get access to it, feels like it might help them, bloody well do it.
