" The route to facing what we feel is not by devaluing the darkness of what we feel, but by valuing the deep structure of why we don’t want to feel. Once we face why feeling is so hard, then we can move beyond what we feel to the deeper energy within us that keeps us from grappling honestly with our emotions. Then we will not only feel more deeply, but—more importantly—we will feel our feelings in a way that exposes our struggle with God. "
