Okay, so I’m emotionally
constipated.
How do I get unconstipated?
You’ve already begun.
I have? When?
Remember when we talked
about how you felt
towards your boss?
And you let yourself
express your anger at him?*
*Session 18
Yes. That felt great.
That was you
unconstipating yourself.
But I can’t go around
expressing anger all
the time.
Or crying whenever
I’m sad. Or running
out of scary movies.
No, but you don’t need to,
any more than you need
to spend your life on the toilet.
You just need to
become regular.
Regular?
Practice getting feelings
out on a regular basis…
in a safe place at first.
Like here?
Like here.
That’s enough?
To start. Then over time it
gets easier to do elsewhere
and in other relationships.
And eventually you stop being
scared of feelings and learn
to see them as friends.
This will take a while,
won’t it?
It takes as long as it takes.
Why? You have something
more important to do?
Apparently not.
