In my opinion, a feeling is a feeling. You'll never not feel something, although the actual perception of it may be less.

Sitting with feelings is wise advice.

Well some people call it sitting with feelings, I actually prefer the term wrangling them, because that's what it's been like for me.

So often we have emotional reactions about or to our emotional reactions. This causes spiraling and panic.

However, if you can distance yourself a bit from the emotion, develop the skill to step outside of yourself objective you can learn to say "okay I feel sad,mad/bad/etc..., but it's not the end of the world" then the "sting" of the emotion becomes less.

You also become less reactive to it. It becomes easier to carry and you can move on through it.
