Ladies when you have been emotionally wounded you need to allow yourself time to feel the pain that is ripping your heart into pieces. Giving yourself permission to experience fully what you need to is the only real path to healing. I like to think of it as if you are cleaning your house. To do so, you need to know where the dirt is. Well its time to get down and get dirty. Being authentic about how you feel also allows you to express honestly what is needed to give you some closure. When you stuff your feelings, they ultimately resurface and usually with a stronger negative perception than what you experienced originally.
