Jana Kramer opens up on dealing with negative emotions after heartbreak

Jana Kramer sat down for an interview with PEOPLE and revealed why she wants to be careful about her future relationships.

The 37-year-old said, “You know, I have been very open in all my relationships, especially with my last relationship. For me, I just feel like I need to be very careful talking about the next relationships because I know how they get picked apart.”

Kramer continued, “Right now I just want to enjoy and keep things close to me. For the last four months or six months, I was like, I'm not worthy. I'm not lovable. I don't deserve it. I'm not pretty, I'm not enough.”

The One Tree Hill actor added, “And now it's like I'm taking those negative voices and throwing them out and saying, no, I am worth it. I do deserve love. I am enough. I'm worthy of all of that.”

She further added, “I have to basically put aside my own feelings of hurt and anger and frustration and betrayal, which are all very much there. It's really hard to do when you have that betrayal and you want to be angry, but I have two beautiful children that don't deserve that energy.”
