"Creating a visual representation of my anger really helped me understand that often when I start to feel negative emotions my instinct to minimise them, or "compact them down". Doing so only ends up concentrating negative emotions instead of allowing myself to naturally process, understand and let go of that feeling. Being aware that the "go to" defence mechanism I have developed over my life is now doing more harm than good is my first step in trying to find a better way to process my feelings."
