Learning to Feel What we really Feel
This is a the title of an article on The School of Life site. I think the following introduction to this article describes what we were trying to do in this morning’s session:
”Mental well-being is the consequence of what seems like a stupidly simple process but is in fact an enormously and humblingly complicated one.
A so-called ‘well-adjusted mind’ is one that can minimise the distance between what feels and what it knows it feels; between emotions that flood it and those that consciousness can register.”

That is interesting, Mary. But is there a typo in what you wrote? Should it read -
A so-called ‘well-adjusted mind’ is one that can minimise the distance between what it feels and what it knows it feels; between emotions that flood it and those that consciousness can register.
There's a subtle difference between "what feels" and "what it feels" in those sentences...
