This was such a fun exploration! We both laughed at the topic, as the idea that our feelings don't matter, would have been met with outrage by both of us in our younger days.

We both believed our emotions were telling us very important information about how we were doing (or the world, or others, our work, relationships, lifestyle or whatever) and that low or bad feelings definitely looked like they had to be dealt with.
