Feelings aren't necessarily private, precious, or personal. They're simply the somatic correlates of certain thoughts and beliefs (most of which are impersonal). And if your thinking is flawed (as it often will be), your emotions will be more or less unjustified. As a result, there is no need to privilege your emotional experience as somehow truer or more significant than your cognitive experience. Learn to exercise the same detachment with respect to your emotional responses as you do with your mental processes.

PsycHacks provides viewers with a brief, thought-provoking video several days a week on a variety of psychological topics, inspired by my clinical practice. The intention is for the core idea contained within each video to inspire viewers to see something about themselves or their world in a slightly different light.
