When exploring tender feelings, containers are vital. Essential even. Whether in the safety of a therapist’s armchair, the accountability of a support group, or a fluffy diary that shuts with a lock and key, let this process be sequestered. There’s no emotional alchemy without a hermetically-sealed cauldron, after all — so use this time to establish the boundaries of your healing journey. With work as profound as this, you need space, time outs, and periods to completely detach. Give yourself the protection of these hard limits. Then watch your healing potion bubble over.
