Thank you for this Scarlet! I have not seen an example of this, of actions to take for specific feelings. Maybe I haven't looked! But this makes a lot of sense as not all tools work for everything!
If all else fails I stuff, stuff them away......no longer with alcohol, but food!! Arrgh. At least the doors are beginning to open and allow them all out, just need to learn to accept them.
