Question: 

I'm working on "feeling my feelings" especially because I've denied a lot of them. I feel like my pain is so intense at times that I would totally lose control and even my mind, if I let myself fully feel. As a Christian, can you give me some guidance on how to allow myself to feel what I feel and still not let them control me? I don't believe that "everything" that comes at our mind is necessarily of us. We have an enemy and I don't want to give him any place in me or my emotions.
