One thing my T finally :-) was able to teach me is that feelings come and go and change (like weather). You may feel totally differently when you get there. But the actual teaching was that you can "wait" and the feelings will eventually change. So, if you don't like this "view", not-to-worry, a new one will show up. I found that if I practiced watching expectantly for something else instead of "resisting" or analyzing crummy feelings it gets a bit more comfortable. Pretend it is a movie/show. We are not just our feelings; a little distance/3rd person from them can make a lot of difference. Put your Sherlock Holmes hat on instead of your Pinksoil one.
