how do you open up more about emotions to pastoral care teachers?? i find it so scary and don't know how people can just do it
Hey - thanks for writing in 🌟
Opening up about emotions can be tough, but it's good to remember that your pastoral care teachers are there to support you.
Start by finding a quiet and comfortable space to talk. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that it's okay to feel vulnerable.
You can start by saying, "I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, and I thought it might help to talk about it." Once you've said this, the conversation will hopefully flow more naturally - it's all about starting the conversation 🫶 Remember, they're trained to listen and offer guidance.
It's okay to take your time and share at your own pace. And if you're still feeling nervous, you can write down your thoughts beforehand or bring a trusted friend along for support 🤗💪
