\u201cMy feelings were hurt\u201d is a phrase very commonly used. We even use it when we talk to our children.\xa0 \u201cDid someone hurt your feelings?\u201d It\u2019s kind of interesting when you think about it. Instead of asking, \u201cWhat happened and how are you feeling about it?\u201d and helping your child sort out their exact feelings, we lump them all together.

Many of us carry that lumpy mess of \u201churt feelings\u201d into our adulthood. Instead of saying, for example, \u201cI want you to ask me what I think, or what I\u2019d like, instead of assuming you know," you might say,\xa0 \u201cYou hurt my feelings all the time and you don\u2019t even realize it.\u201d

So today we'll focus on how to clean up those " hurt feelings" and express them in much clearer, healthier ways - that hopefully can lead to much better results.
