Why do we resist the things and experiences we really want?
Here’s how Kelsey and Vanessa define emotional bypassing?
Not acknowledging or honoring difficult things or not allowing yourself to feel your feelings. This often shows up when (usually) well-meaning friends blow off your anguish around something important by saying things like “think positive” or “this will pass” or when you ignore you feelings of anger (for example) instead of bringing consciousness to the issue.
It’s bypassing the acknowledgement that difficult things happen in life. The personal development gurus have taught that don’t think about the negative or you’ll get more of it. There’s no change, no ability to shift things.
You can’t heal what you don’t feel.
