The Eight Feelings™ are eight tools human beings have to help them live fully in a tragic place. Each feeling, lived in relationship with one’s self, others, and God, leads to the gift(s) they are created to bring us. On the other hand, attempting to block the vulnerability of feelings lead to impaired results and their effects in one’s life.
| Impairment | Feeling | Gift |
|---|---|---|
| Resentment | Hurt | Healing & Courance |
| Apathy | Lonely | Intimacy |
| Self-pity | Sad | Acceptance |
| Pride & Depression | Anger | Passion |
| Anxiety | Fear | Wisdom & Faith |
| Toxic Shame & Contempt | Shame | Humility |
| Toxic Shame & Shamelessness | Guilt | Freedom & Forgiveness |
| Sensuous or sensual pleasure without heart | Glad | Joy with sadness |
