You CAN trust feeling good, because you feel good! It's how you feel, and it's true, and it's real. If you feel better later, or worse later, it doesn't change how you feel in this moment, and it doesn't make this moment any less real or true.

T and I did something in session that REALLY helped me and made me feel so much better and I was afraid to tell him, because I was afraid if I told him, it would somehow be taken away. But I realized I really wanted him to know, because we worked hard, and it was my success, and his too. So I told him, and the good stayed. The memory that we worked on didn't come back and overwhelm me. It was safe to feel okay.

Enjoy the good feeling, Rainbow. You've earned it
Wow - that was definitely a light bulb moment for me - thanks for this, of course if I feel good now, then I feel good now full stop.
