A lot of people get depressed this time of year. The weather turns cold and wet. Autumn colours give way to grey and black. The sun fades, taking our long summer nights with it.

Intense emotion can be overwhelming for all of us. And if you’re just opening up to an emotion, it can feel very raw. No matter how experienced you are with your emotions, we all need help sometimes to know how to deal with them.

Do you have trouble saying NO? Do you do things for other people but almost never ask anybody to do things for you? You may be a people pleaser.

Identifying how you feel can sometimes be confusing. You know that you’re feeling something, but may not know exactly what.

Do you struggle with knowing and accepting how you feel? If you do, you are not alone.
