Dear User, Thank you for sharing your feelings with me. It can be challenging to hold onto negative emotions, especially towards our loved ones. I'm here to support you and offer advice from both Buddhist and psychological perspectives. From a Buddhist perspective, hatred is one of the three poisons that can cause suffering. Hatred can consume us, leading to negative thoughts and actions, and ultimately, it harms us more than the person we're angry with. We may also be carrying negative karma from past lives that contribute to these feelings. It's essential to recognize and acknowledge these emotions and work towards releasing them. From a psychological perspective, it's understandable to have negative emotions towards someone who has hurt us. However, it's essential to understand that holding onto these emotions can impact our mental health and well-being. We may also be projecting our emotions onto others, which can cause further problems. It's essential to recognize the root cause of our emotions and work towards healing and forgiveness. My coaching advice to you is to take some time to reflect on your emotions and the reasons behind them. Try to understand where they are coming from and how they are impacting your life. You may want to consider seeking professional help to work through these emotions. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and meditation can help you cultivate compassion and forgiveness towards your father and yourself. Finally, it may be helpful to communicate with your father and express your feelings in a constructive way. Remember, it takes time and effort to release negative emotions, but with patience and practice, it's possible to find peace and healing.
