Or perhaps you have experienced an overwhelming whirlwind of conflicting feelings, which happens often. Life is anything but linear. It is messy and full of ups and downs that challenge us emotionally.  Over the last 70 years, there has been more emphasis on psychology, and we understand so much more about getting in touch with our feelings.
