T posed the idea that feelings can be wrong today. She said I was trapped/immobilized by my feelings and that my intellectual side could not function to temper them or balance things out because of the intensity that my sensitivity leads me to. She said that feelings aren't always right and I hold this belief that they are absolute. I don't understand how feelings can be wrong - but I did ask how they could be changed.
I think emotions are always right - maybe I should say valid - but the perception behind them might not be. The feeling could be a reaction to an untruth, but it is still a real, honest feeling. I don't think the feeling can be wrong, but that the action taken based on the feeling could be.
I'll have to explore that further with her next week.
