Ugh, I don't want to feel this! Why won't this annoying thing go away? I shouldn't be feeling this way... Acknowledging what I feel won't get me anywhere and may make it worse.
Not only that, emotions don't always present us with a clear, illuminating message about what's happening for us and what we need... Instead, the person experiences it in this case as a vague, confusing blob of uneasiness that's hard to pin down and interpret.
It's understandable to struggle with seeing the utility in what we feel or to want to shine a light away from the inner world of emotions and look outward. At the same time, this response doesn't tend to help.
Although there's a connection between emotional clarity and wellness, there may be exceptions... It's not yet possible to say that emotional clarity leads to more resolve about choices and reaching for aims.
