Expressing how you feel can help you cope when life throws you challenges. But saying how you feel isn't always easy.

We learn about dealing with big emotions when we're young, from how we see our family and people around us dealing with their big emotions.

If you feel like it's ok to express uncomfortable feelings at home, you may find it easier in general to get in touch with your feelings. Expressing your feelings in a healthy way takes practice and can look differently for everybody.
