Hurt feelings are universal and are present in human beings as well as
in animals. These feelings are usually avoided by human beings and
overlooked by the scientific and professional mental health
communities. Yet, if unresolved and not shared with loved ones and
professionals, they tend to fester in our bodies and effect our
functioning. If not expressed and shared with caring others, anger,
sadness and fear are at the bottom of mental illness. Developmentally,
each of these feelings respectively gives rise to antisocial acts,
depression and severe mental illness. This book suggests that instead
of traditional one-on-one, face-to-face, conversation-based
interventions, distance writing will allow mental health professionals
to assign interactive practice exercises specifically focused on hurt
feelings.
