Emotional honesty involves listening and attending to the meaning of each hurt feeling. Children and adults can learn this process of naming and disarming emotional wounds so they do not accumulate and become infected with shame, fear, and anger. Emotional honesty helps to prevent violent and self-destructive responses to emotional pain that threaten to tear apart ourselves and our society. Rather than focus on violence-proofing schools, Brill advocates using schools to violence-proof children. By learning to accept rather than judge feelings, we honor our feelings and ourselves. Self-accepting persons have no need to harm themselves or others. They have no reason to punish others or themselves for their painful feelings.
