At some point in their lives, most people will have thought: “He should never have said that”; “How could she treat me this way?”; “I feel guilty when I remember what I said to him”; “I’m so angry I can’t bear it”. Usually, we don’t feel that we can discuss these hurtful emotions, such as guilt, anger or jealousy, with our friends and families, let alone go to a GP for advice on dealing with them. We’re a nation that bottles things up, dismissing anger, frustration, hatred and guilt as largely insignificant to our minds and bodies.
