I believe there's a difference between pushing feelings away by distracting ourselves or putting feelings aside to address at another time.

If you are able to stick those feelings back in their box in order to function, but will decide to pull them back out again during T or when you choose to address it, that is much more productive than trying to suppress feelings so that they will miraculously disappear.

Most feelings don't disappear fully....it may feel that way, but they find a way to resurface....
