I’m always telling everyone to go to therapy!!! It’s out of love 🫶
I suggest it because at some point in your life you learned feelings NEEDED to be over there. Yeah, you’re going to have to learn how to feel them, but I’m gonna assume that the distance comes from some kind of trauma. You can’t learn how to be in your feelings if your unconscious or body is going to think it’s unsafe. Again, there is a reason you learned how to do that. Maybe it’s obvious to you or maybe you’re like uhh mossyelfie you’re WRONG. And maybe I am, but an irl therapist can be helpful to figure all of this out and guide you 💗
Also (from personal experience) there’s a good chance the feelings feel so big because they’re at a distance and they’re not being heard. They’re like babies, they get louder when they’re ignored. They’ll probably chill out when you start learning how to express them.

Because everyone has their own problems. People who say they don't need it are often the ones who need it all the more. What's the point? It's hard to say. It's a kind of gym for the soul. The mother who didn't often reassure you physically, of course, we've long since got over her because we're all so terribly grown up. But is that really true? Isn't it often the child in you that cries out for help in the same situations over and over again?

Firstly, big warm virtual hug. Close your eyes and feel it 🫂
The book I’m recommending was such a comfort for me in a hard time, and I hope it is for you too.
I don’t want to move too far into Therapy speak but I have to make very clear to you, somebody telling you that you will never be loved is an abusive statement. That is like a curse being placed upon you. That seed is planted in your heart and everything gets filtered through it. And it’s not TRUE! IT’S NOT TRUE!!! IT’S NOT TRUE!!! You need to deal with that. And you will. I believe in you.

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what if’s! The Fool is in the moment!

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
