Your emotions are yours and they are what they are. You are entitled to have your emotions and nobody has a say in that. They might not be helping you, they might not be constructive but they are part of your subjective reality.
It is true that many people - sometimes even including therapists - might judge you or even deny you are having them but truly, they are yours.
