"I'm So Confused!" Here's What You Can Do About It

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

We've all said it; we've all felt it: "I'm confused!" We are flooded with too many thoughts, feelings, options, and contradictions. It's uncomfortable, we like clarity, so we try to push it away as quickly as possible. Just like anger and sadness, confusion gets a bad rap because it's uncomfortable, but it's serves an almost wholly positive purpose in mental health. The truth is, we have to tolerate feeling confused if we want to learn, grow, deepen, and be able to read unsafe people. This week, we expand our understanding and respect for CONFUSION. No one wants to live there, but in order to be mentally healthy, we've got to learn how to stay in it long enough to let it do what it needs to do.
