It can be tough, especially if you know you aren't great at expressing negative feelings. I used to have a hard time with anger--I almost couldn't express it at all without it becoming full-on rage. Which made me tend to avoid or suppress it, which of course only made it worse! 😅 It takes time and practice, and naturally we all make mistakes along the way, but I'm glad you're noticing and I think it's awesome you put this out there because I bet there are a lot of people who read it and think, "me too!" ❤️

Thanks for this, Josh! That makes sense, that it takes intentional practice and skill-building to express the negative feelings that trigger us.
