Untangling the emotions

Yesterday I met with two sisters to converse about care for Mom. The meeting grew heated; one was dog tired.

The sisters have a need to continue as family. Both need to find a way to deal with their emotions.

To do that, they need to see what the emotions are and untangle them, so they can address them. The emotions are serving us, giving us something valuable. The emotions are telling us something needs attention. So we need to bring that attention. But not on the emotion, on what the emotion is telling us: what is important here?
