Quote by Dr. Rob Murray

“When healthy expressions of emotion are not permitted in a family system, children are forced to learn how to express, reach, and need in other ways. When there is no safe place for them to express themselves, they learn to repress, rage, or medicate.”

All of these things require having access to your feelings.”
