Why don't a journal talk to a trusted friend, cry out whatever helps you process those feelings. three. Separate the person from their actions. This is where things get tricky. We tend to label people based on their mistakes, but rather Remember, everyone is human and capable of making mistakes. Try to see the situation objectively.
