the ones who want to explore them and validate them
it's ... confusing

here's my thoughts on this (based on my own experience/therapy):
I think sitting with them/ exploring them / validating them (but not judging them) is good.
I think thoughts can lie more than feelings.
i disagree about ignoring them - i consider my feelings to be a guide to what's going on inside, whether it's faulty thinking or whatever. i don't think ignoring them works.
