How do you feel about your feelings?

Understanding your meta-emotions (how you perceive your feelings) can make a difference in your ability to form strong, healthy bonds with others.

We all have an emotional history that stems from our upbringing. Someone who is generally comfortable with emotion will be able to support and validate their partner’s feelings, while also freely expressing their own sadness, fear, disappointment, and joy. By contrast, someone who grew up in an emotionally-dismissive environment may shut down when emotions come up in conversation.

Denim Day began as a protest to the Italian courts, who ruled that because a young woman was wearing such tight jeans when she was sexually assaulted, she must have assisted her perpetrator in taking them off, thereby giving him consent. To show support for this young woman, people began to wear jeans in solidarity. This Wednesday, Help Restore Hope Center wears denim to show that sexual assault is NEVER the fault of the survivor, and clothing is NEVER equal to consent. 👖♥️
