Spiritual Bypassing and the Feelings We’d Rather Not Feel

What if “staying positive” isn’t always as healthy as it sounds?

In this first installment of Bypassing Bites, a five-part mini-series from The Brave & Balanced Fundraiser, we’re looking at spiritual bypassing—the ways we can use positivity, gratitude, forgiveness, spirituality and even personal-growth language to avoid feelings we’d rather not feel.

Sometimes “I’m choosing gratitude” really is gratitude. Sometimes “I’ve let it go” really does mean we’ve let it go.

And sometimes we’re trying to skip over the anger, hurt, disappointment or fear underneath it.

In this bite-sized episode, we explore the difference between genuinely moving through an emotion and trying to get to the other side of it before we’ve actually allowed ourselves to feel it.

Because emotional mastery isn’t about feeling good all the time. It’s about becoming more willing to be with what’s actually here.
