[quote=Anonymous][quote]Don't agree how can you say feeling are not valid? As a licensed therapist, rule #1 is that ALL feelings are valid. Maybe you do not agree with her feelings, that is OK but her feelings are valid and real. How to and if to address them is a different matter.

What a bunch of hooey. Some people believe in truth. Moral relativism is pathetic. No, not all feelings are valid. Feelings are racism of invalid, for example. Believing others are your property to manipulate is not valid.

Truth and how you feel/react to something have nothing to do with one another. Saying all feelings are not valid is purely subjective. TO YOU all feelings are not valid, but to many feelings are just that, a reaction or emotion to a situation that often cannot be controlled. Those who openly express and accept their feelings and deal with them in a positive proactive way are more likely to be better rounded, more open minded kinder people. FACT.[/quote]

That really depends on what you mean by valid.  If you mean "having a sound basis in logic or fact; reasonable or cogent," then no, all feelings are not valid.  If I experienced extreme anger every time I lost Monopoly Jr. to my son, it would perhaps be genuinely felt but not reasonable.   [/quote]
