We all go through it... the flood of emotion. I am sure that you have felt it too.... powerful surges of emotion so strong that they knock you off your feet, kick you in the gut, make your head spin, steal your sleep and if you are lucky from time to time - pull you up to Cloud 9.
I receive a lot of correspondence from people asking if these overwhelming emotions are normal. "Oh God yes!" is always my answer. In fact, based on my experience, if you aren't feeling overwhelming emotions you aren't participating in your search or reunion! This is simply one of the rare events in a person's life that can completely change their priorities, at least for a while.
But how do you cope?
Well, that is a multi-faceted question....and no two people cope exactly the same way. BUT, there are some very common threads that most people involved in a search or reunion experience. And thank God, since that helps us to know that we are normal!
I recently worked very hard (on the content, but also learning the technology) to develop a mini e-course about Emotional Overwhelm. It is free, and includes a subscription to Adoption Reunion Realities. You can sign up here and the four lesson course will be delivered to your email box daily for the next few days. Please feel free to come back here and post feedback!
Please be assured that I will not bombard you with email and that I will never, ever sell or share your email address!
